Reality: Offred fights and survies
This book deals with many things such as humanity and class but the main thing it deals with is the struuggle for women and how they gain and lose power by their sexuality.Offred has power over the Commander and his wifebecause she is fertile but her fate lies in their hands so they also havepower over her. I really enjoyed this book it was mind boogleing to thinkthat these situations can and do occur in society

Better than I thought it was going to be
While writing my Master's thesis, this book kept coming up in my research.I decided to buy it because I couldn't track it down in any library... I am so happy that I did.Although I purchased this book for a very specific purpose, it has greatly expanded my conception of feminist readings of Shakespeare. Kahn does a wonderful job of performing close readings of Shakespeare's Roman works (Titus Andronicus, Rape of Lucrece, Julius Caesar, Corilianus, Cymbeline) and couples such reading with historical and feminst interpretations... all of which are valid and thorough.I am not a huge fan of most feminist readings of Shakespeare, however Kahn has a compelling theory that I found easily acceptable and actually embraced.Kahn has a keen eye for language and detail, and she also manages to communicate her complex theories into lucid writing.I highly recommend this book for all who are interested in Shakespeare's Roman works. ...

Thot provok study of pers growth thru literary protagonists
Thought provoking study of personal growth potential using female literary protagonists as examples. Similar to style of heroic studies by Joseph Campbell. Bit academic, but well worth effort to read and digest. Was used as a text in local college lit. class at my suggestion. Interesting as a very personal read OR as study of contemporary literature, provoking lively discussion. ... Read more
