Margaret Atwoods works have been carried out around the problems faced by women in mod society. The Hand-maids Tale is no exception;it focuses on problems related to the female body. This paper, with the help of Foucaults theory and feminist theories, discusses the protagonists resistance through the body and how this resistance develops from reading to writing. Her reading, achieved through the means of gaze, involves reading the textual materials and the subtext of the natural and social surroundings. Her writing, achieved through the means of female writing, serves as the protagonists most significant and effective resistance against the patriarchal dictatorship.
