by Margaret Atwood (also rec’d by Emma Watson , Gloria Steinem , Jane Elliott & Tegan and Sara )
Buy on AmazonThis dystopian novel was set in Cambridge, Massachusetts — or what Cambridge had become after a revolution and under a new Christian-based government — and having lived myself in Cambridge there was a particular fascination for me. Again, the theme of women’s roles was an important one for me at that time in my life. I was in my 40s when I read this and my own life was shifting.
