by Margaret Atwood, Folio Society 2012

Dystopian novel set in the near future, in a totalitarian theocracy which has overthrown the United States government. The novel tells the story of Offred and her role as a Handmaid. The Handmaids are forced to provide children by proxy for infertile women of a higher social status, the wives of Commanders. We created The Handmaid’s Tale artworks in 2011. This Multi award-winning Folio Society edition was the first illustrated version of the Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale published in 2012. It is a constant source of inspiration for many artists. After The Handmaid's tale TV series 2017 the novel became very popular but our red handmaids were born 6 years earlier.
