The Season 6 finale of 'The Handmaid's Tale' marks the conclusion of the Emmy award-winning show, but its legacy endures through the writers and creatives. Margaret Atwood, who authored the original novel, aimed to shift the male-dominated narrative in speculative fiction to focus on women's perspectives. Despite being written decades ago, its themes resonate today, reflecting historical truths. Yahlin Chang, an executive producer, highlights her lifelong passion for storytelling, originating from her childhood experiences with literature and drama. The show embodies the evolution and continued relevance of its powerful themes.
I'd always wanted to write a speculative fiction book... I thought it would be interesting to flip it and tell it from the point of view of a woman.
Everything in the book is based on historical fact... Nothing in it hasn't happened somewhere at some point in history.
I read a ton of books, and I very much felt like books were more real than real life... It became a dream of mine to be able to one day write.
The legacy of the creatives and talent behind the hit drama will live on in the work they continue to do and the lessons they've learned.
