DEMONSTRATING DYSTOPIA

‘Handmaid’s Tale’ author nods at inclusion in Israel protests
Margaret Atwood tweets video of hundreds of women across Israel donning iconic red robes and white caps during anti-government protests


By TOI STAFF and AP

Margaret Atwood, the Canadian author of the dystopian novel-turned-TV show “The Handmaid’s Tale,” has tweeted approvingly of women utilizing the themes of the book in mass anti-government protests across Israel.

Over the past 12 weeks, many of the protests across the country have included an eye-catching display of dozens of women silently marching with their heads down and their hands clasped, wearing the red robes and white caps made iconic by the story.

Those participating are seeking to drive home the fear that the government’s plans to massively overhaul the judiciary will leave minorities and women unprotected, referencing the futuristic novel where subjugated women are forced to bear children for male leaders of a patriarchal society.
