About This Novel

Throughout the ages, female characters in narratives have been either beautiful and kind, or ugly and vicious. The silent queen in "Hamlet" and the extremely ugly and vicious sister in "Cinderella". When gender stereotypes become shackles, all Atwood has to do is untie, disrupt and reshape them. This time, Atwood is taking offense on behalf of offended women. I don't even have a name. All this time, I was just "that ugly sister", with the emphasis on the word "ugly". --Page 18 of this book
