The Handmaid's Tale News

The books in this list are mostly dystopian stories about oppression, violence, cruelty, coups, civil wars and the downtrodden classes; and some are novels that are based on true stories.When you read them, they will show you the tragic side of being a human and the human life itself; will help you understand the pains of humanity and 'the others'; and will potentially make you more 'aware', 'understanding' and 'compassionate. Enjoy reading!Note 1: Just like every book list, this one is also incomplete and flawed, sorry in advance!Note 2: The order has nothing to do with the quality of the books.

No, we’re not assuming your taste in literature is based on your gender. Rather, many of the books in this list actually questioned what it’s to be a “woman” long before today’s generation started to disavow the “binaries” of gender. Moreover, each one of them has a unique, personal story which has a lot to tell to people from all genders, but especially women and girls will find them pretty inspiring!Like every list, this one is missing your voice. Comment if you have any books to recommend! Book summaries were taken from Wikipedia.

Fans of 'The Handmaid's Tale' have been riding a roller coaster since the series first premiered in 2017. The Emmy-award-winning drama, set in the dystopian Republic of Gilead, is known for pushing the boundaries of television. Now the show is about to release another installment, and if the most recent trailer is to be trusted, then it looks like things are going to get dicey. Elizabeth Moss, who plays the main character June, told ET Canada in April, 'There's so much happening in every single episode.'

A drama series is a significant event when Elisabeth Moss makes an appearance. This iconic star from the Top of the Lake, Mad Men, US, The Invisible Man and The Handmaid’s Tale, has been termed one of the most brilliant TV actresses and is now back with another super hit series, Shining Girls.

Time flies- wasn’t just the other day fans couldn’t keep calm when the first season of The Handmaid’s Tale premiered? The series has managed four incredible seasons in nearly five years, with the fifth around the corner. The Handmaid’s Tale is a modification of Margaret Atwood’s book of the same title, originally published in 1985 (hardcover).Atwood project has garnered a whopping 4.1/5-star rating on Goodreads and a 3.1/5-star rating on Thriftbooks; no wonder it was modified into a TV show.

In the days before streaming, science fiction was a neglected market, considered far too costly to be put on screen. Networks did invest in a handful of series, but it wasn't until the demand for original streaming grew that they were willing to put down the money necessary for quality content. Now we have a vast, impressive library of titles to choose from with more being created all the time. 2022 is no different. This year's lineup is mindblowing. It's one of the best we've seen in years. There are some amazing titles on this list, and the year still isn't over.

Mid-20th century domestic arts was centered around the idea that wifehood was a privilege. Women were housed, fed, and loved, and in return, they ensured that their husbands had everything they needed to live happy, successful lives. It was a huge responsibility. They were in charge of their husband's nutrition, appearance, and temperament. He would need well-cooked meals at the proper hour, drinks in the sitting room, and a skilled conversationalist--someone who had studied him and understood what he needed to hear.All of these duties were to be performed with a sense of presentation and poise. Hair, nails, and makeup were all integral to maintaining a healthy marriage. Women didn't want their husbands looking elsewhere.Many of life's failings could be traced back to a lazy, neglectful housewife. Women were the machine behind the magic. They kept their husbands afloat. Everything they did, from cleaning to ironing, helped maintain a stable home. That was their ultimate goal in life. There were radicals who believed that women should have the right to live as they saw fit. But that went against everything society believed in. Man was meant to follow God's law, not his own whims, and God said that wives were to submit themselves to their husbands as unto the Lord.

Rumors about the screen adaptation of the top-selling novel Luckiest Girl Alive started as early as 2020, so when it was announced that Netflix has gotten the rights to film Jessica Knoll’s book, fans were beside themselves with excitement. Mila Kunis stars in this self-produced adaptation of the book and takes on the role of Ani Fanelli, a woman who on the surface appears to have everything good going on for her- that is until she revisits her past as part of an interview for a crime documentary. Ani faces a serious dilemma- lose her image or reveal the truth. Here’s the latest and must-know about Luckiest Girl Alive.

Some bittersweet news arrived today, announcing the renewal of the sixth and final season of 'The Handmaid's Tale.'
