In this episode we discuss philosophical issues in Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale. We interview philosophers Charlene Elsby, Leigh Kolb, and Trip McCrossin, each of whom contributed a chapter to Rachel’s recent book The Handmaid’s Tale and Philosophy: A Womb of One’s Own. Time permitting will consider the topic, couture in Gilead: fashion crimes or ahead of its time.
[Note: if you are worried about spoilers for The Testaments, we’ve purposely not discussed it this episode. You are safe to listen.]
