in her dystopian novel, "the handmaid's tale", all the developments take place in the united states near boston, while canada is portrayed as the only hope for an escape. to some this reflects her status of being "in the vanguard of canadian anti-americanism of the 1960s and 1970s." critics have seen gilead (the us) as a repressive regime and the mistreated handmaid as canada. during the debate in 1987 over a free trade agreement between canada and the united states, atwood spoke out against the deal and wrote an essay opposing the agreement. atwood claims that the 2016 us presidential election led to an increase in sales of "the handmaid's tale". inspired by "the handmaid's tale", the political action group the handmaid's coalition was formed in 2017 in response to legislation and actions aimed at limiting the rights of women and marginalized groups. activists, dressed in red cloaks and white hats as described in "the handmaid's tale", lobby and protest in order to bring awareness to politicians and laws that discriminate against women and women's rights.
