YA Books Like The Handmaid’s Tale

The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood details a bleak and oppressive dystopian future for women and children in America. In this new society, The Handmaidens are fertile women forced to bear children Their freedom is stripped away entirely. Readers will navigate this new world alongside our unreliable narrator Offred. Whether you’ve read the books first or watched the Hulu series, I found a handful of YA books like The Handmaid’s Tale for you to read!

These YA books have similar themes: dystopian futures, violent governments, and young women who somehow beat the odds. All the odds are stacked against them, but these young women are survivors! They’ll fight tooth and nail for what’s right. No matter the cost. These books are inspiring because it takes courage to stand up to the oppressive governments and societies within these stories.

Dystopian Books Like The Handmaid’s Tale

I think these stories will be great to hold you over until season 4 of The Handmaid’s Tale releases on April 28th, 2021. So much has happened over the last three seasons, so I can only imagine what season 4 will be about.

I hope you enjoy this reading list and discover some fantastic authors!
