Feminist author Margaret Atwood, who penned the original “Handmaid’s Tale” more than three decades ago as a way of protesting what she believed would be the dawn of a theocratic oligarchy under then-President Ronald Reagan and then-Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, says she’ll soon release a sequel inspired by the age of Trump.
The book, called “The Testaments,” seems to be less a continuation of the main character, Offred’s, story, and more of a collection of testimonials given by “Handmaids” trapped in (or escaped from) the post-apocalyptic fictional world of Gilead, where fertile women serve as forced surrogates for the barren wives of the country’s despotic administration.
