Does The Handmaid's Tale Get Feminism Wrong?
June 25, 2021
On this short, special guest-narrated edition of Out of Frame, co-writer Jen Maffessanti gets into “The Handmaid’s Tale” and its depiction of an oppressive, patriarchal society. With analogies to the modern world, some present-day feminists use this book and series for dramatic political protests. But there’s a dark side to their feminist interpretation, and also a lighter, more liberating one. Namely: Collectivist Feminism vs. Individualist Feminism.
