«In an age where savage neoliberalism, climate change denial and lack of consideration for basic human rights seem bent on imposing their logic over the Western world, The Handmaid's Tale: Teaching Dystopia, Feminism, and Resistance Across Disciplines and Borders, edited by Karen A. Ritzenhoff and Janis L. Goldie, is a staunch confirmation of the relevance not only of Margaret Atwood’s 1985 The Handmaid’s Tale, but of dystopian fiction in general. Offering multiple entries into the novel and its two adaptations through a wide array of methodologies (adaptation studies, criminology, cultural studies, etc.), this book is an ideal companion for a class on The Handmaid's Tale or the relationship between feminism and popular culture.»

«Who would have thought that The Handmaid’s Tale would become a 'how-to' manual for contemporary existence? But if that’s where we are today, then this book is an essential 'how-to' manual for understanding not only The Handmaid’s Tale, but the dystopia that has become our reality.»
Dahlia Schweitzer, Author of Going Viral: Zombies, Viruses, and the End of the World
«A truly interdisciplinary, extremely timely and a thorough study of what has already become a canonical text about women’s visibility and voice. This book is a great addition to feminist television studies and an excellent volume on the teaching feminism as activism. The chapters in the volume cleverly situate The Handmaid’s Tale in the context of #MeToo and #timesup, and remind us once again that as academics, we are change agents.»
Eylem Atakav, The University of East Anglia
«This anthology offers teachers a brilliant and brave resource that is vital to help students address challenging topics in the classroom. Taking The Handmaid’s Tale as its starting point – and interweaving analysis of narratives in literature, film and television – it tackles some of the most pressing social issues of our time with diligence, intersectional awareness, and ethical consideration. Throughout the book, readers will find a broad range of interdisciplinary approaches that encompass the past, as well as the speculative future, of The Handmaid’s Tale.»
