Quotes
Margaret Atwood: I set the Handmaid's Tale in Cambridge, Massachusetts home of Harvard, which prides itself on being the heart of liberal democracy but started as a 17th century Puritan theocracy. Nobody figured out that Handmaid's Tale is about the Harvard English Department. They didn't hire women at that time.
