"Unfortunately I hadn't read Margaret Atwood's book till after viewing the series, but I was completely blown away and inspired by Offred's strength in The Handmaid's Tale. I'd love to think that if I were in a similar scenario (however awful to imagine) I would handle myself similarly — a combination of playing the game just enough to keep myself out of serious danger, refusing to compromise my morals, and never giving up without a fight." — Joanna Douglas, Senior Native Editorial Director
"Watching June risk her life and defy her oppressors to take care of those she loves is inspiring and thrilling. As sad as it is, this show is extremely relevant right now and constantly reminds me how important it is for women to stick together." — SS
"Even when beaten down and oppressed, with every right and emotion taken away, Offred and the handmaids do what they can to support each other and rebel in whatever ways possible. Despite being considered property rather than people, Offred and Moira make plans, twist their way into the system, and play the game however they need to to survive and break free. Don't let the bastards get you down, the Offred before June wrote in protest — and she doesn't." — RC
