Based on the 1985 novel by Margaret Atwood, the show is set in the shadow of a patriarchal dystopia named Gilead, founded on what used to be the United States.

Women’s status is reduced to a much lower status than that of men, as they are denied basic rights such as being allowed to read or use money.

The “maids” are the women who are forced to wear the hijab and subjected to a form of slavery where they are repeatedly raped in order to have children.
