Alternative cover for the book The Handmaid’s Tale by Margret Atwood.
The dystopian future portrayed in the novel shows misogyny taken to the extreme. Women are largely silenced and have little to no power. They are an instrument for reproduction.
The cover depicts a handmaid as disembodied and gagged by the words of the title.
