AB Literature can be understood and analyzed using many different approaches. In this study,the focus is feminist literary criticism. This thesis argues that Margaret Atwood’s TheHandmaid’s Tale (1985) is, in fact, a feminist dystopia. Analyzing the novel from thisperspective allows the reader to understand aspects such as religious references, Gilead’ssociety, and its government under a different light providing new and relevant informationthat, in a first reading, may go unnoticed. Religious references in the book are numerousand they highlight the importance of the Bible in Gilead and the consequences it has forwomen. One of these consequences is the division of society into separate categoriesaccording to their use, being a division significantly harsher for women. From these twoelements, the type of government is derived, one whose aim is to oppress women.
