The Scarlet Maid is a dystopian novel released in 1985, which has seen its impact increased tenfold by its adaptation to television, in the form of a series whose broadcast began in April 2017 on the American platform Hulu.
The plot takes place in the very near future, when the United States was overthrown by a religious dictatorship, the Republic of Gilead, at a time when, for unclear environmental reasons, humans have seen their fertility collapse. The few women still able to procreate, such as the heroine Offred, have been turned into bad slaves in the service of Gilead's leaders, who rape them during monthly religious ceremonies.
Very quickly, this apocalyptic account relegating the female population to an object became the anti-Trump's one as a parable of the American conservative drift and the badual badaults suffered by women.
