If you haven’t seen the amazing Emmy award winning series The Handmaid’s Tale on Hulu, you are missing out. I discovered the series last year (during Season One) and even my cheap ass paid the $9 per month to watch season two. It is beautifully produced and the storylines are heart breaking and rage inducing all at the same time.
The plot revolves around a dystopian future after a second American Civil war where most women are infertile. A patriarchal totalitarian government has forced the remaining women into child-bearing servitude as “handmaids.”
If you have never watched an episode, it sounds bizarre, but the flashback progression on how this society has developed is disturbingly familiar and eerily foreshadowing.
The show has become like a siren’s song to the feminist crafting community and so many amazing projects have come out of it.
