scary how timeless this book is. some parts of society today are reminiscent of gilead. though i don’t think i’ll reread it for a while because it was depressing, it’s definitely a book you should read if you consider yourself a feminist. it’s not perfect, a little confusing at times too, but it’s a worthwhile read.
