“They should have never given us uniforms if they didn’t want us to be an army.” - The Handmaid's Tale [1] To what extent do media products such as "The Handmaid's Tale" reflect modern feminism today? In today's society, the word feminism has lost its meaning. By definition, feminism is the equality between both sexes which has yet not been achieved fully in the world.
