Each novel has a problem in its core societal framework that has caused it to become a dystopia. What is the central problem in your novel that needs solving in order to resolve the dystopia that has been created? Next, solve the problem. Determine a plan for how the society in your book can transition from the present dystopia to a functional and fair society. 

I believe that the central problem at its core in "The Handmaid's Tail" is that women have little to no rights. I think that it was the result of the nuclear disaster that occurred. Which led to giving some women defects in which they could not have children. Therefore, nearly bringing the human race to extinction. So the government decides to take extreme measures to try to ensure the species does not fade from existence. The government decides to protect the few women that can reproduce, and those who cannot reproduce are meant to take care of those who can. At this point, women are only allowed to do the necessary things and are kept heavily guarded, as well as obtain identification with them at all times when the maneuver about the city. This means that they had less freedom and had to ask permission from a higher ranked official to do things. I believe there can be a way that this can be solved. I propose that the government of this society should allow these women to be able to maneuver the city with ease. In this case, it is important to maintain the human race alive by protecting the few women that can reproduce. However, it is important to keep a good and functioning society. In a fair and functioning society, everyone should have the liberty they need; they need to have rights. That is something these women do not have in that society. The government should focus on providing a safe environment for these individuals living in that society. They should focus their attention towards finding a treatment that would clear the environment so that t can go back to being a functioning society. In conclusion, the plan that I propose is to have the women who are not able to have children to become independent and be given the rights they deserve. As for the women that can produce, they must not be treated harshly and be allowed to make their own decisions. This is how I believe the society in "The Handmaid's Tail" can return to a fair and functioning society.
