The Handmaid's Tale is a dystopian novel by Margaret Atwood set in the near future in which an oppressive authoritarian government has achieved ascendancy over the United States of America. She apparently intended it to be a fable about a backlash against feminism[Citation Needed]. It was made into a movie in 1990.
