- Title
Torture Born: Babies, Bloodshed and The Feminist Gaze in Hulu's The Handmaid's Tale.
- Authors
Maher, Jennifer
- Abstract
The article offers criticism on the television series "The Handmaid's Tale," based on a 1985 novel of the same name written by Margaret Atwood. Depicting a dystopia, the series stars Elisabeth Moss as Offred, the main character describing everyday life in Gilead, a nation with reproductive struggles. The author also discusses the feminist gaze of the series as well as the author's concern that the dramatization of woman-as-womb might reinforce a neoliberal version of the very same claim.
