I remembered reading this years before, but I thought it was long before it's 1985 publication date. I remembered it as a feminist story (Did I have time for feminist thoughts with two small children in 1985?) - women reduced to the value of their uteruses, But this time it read more as a political tale about power and its abuses. I didn't see the Netflix series but would be interested to see where they made the emphasis. A different focus for dystopian literature. It was interesting that the city? state? country? was named Gilead. Atwood always gives you something to ponder and discuss.
