Voices of Conscience: Margaret Atwood

Margaret Atwood, one of the most remarkable writers of our time, is best known for her 1985 dystopian masterpiece The Handmaid’s Tale. Prolific and fearless, she delves into gender, identity, myth, religion, and power politics, with language that ignites the imagination. Drawing inspiration from myths and fairy tales, her works include The Edible Woman, Surfacing, The Robber Bride, and Survival: A Thematic Guide to Canadian Literature. She also distinguishes between “speculative” and “science fiction,” enriching her literary impact.
