Handmaids

Handmaids are women in the dystopian society of "The Handmaid's Tale" who are assigned to produce children for the ruling class. Due to declining birth rates, they are forced into a strict, state-controlled role focused on reproductive labor. They are trained to serve this purpose within a theocratic regime that limits their rights, identity, and autonomy. Their status is defined by their function rather than individuality, with their lives strictly regulated to ensure the society’s continuation.
