I first read this in either 1986 or 1987 - not long after it first came out. Re-read before plunging into The Testaments which is one of Accra Book Club's reads.

I don't know how I've never read anything by Margaret Atwood before now. I'm still thinking about this book. Crazy good read.

Impressive tale of a woman in a dystopian society, that invites to ponder on the role of women in any society, and the relationship one develops with its body and mind, with others and even religion.
Especially disturbing to read this during the current bout of woman-hating. Beautiful, difficult, terrifying book. I need to read it again already.
