The novel "The Handmaiden's Tale" is literally inspired from real life based from the author's observation of unfolding events in the 20th century, particularly the rise of Iranian theocracy and Islamic fundamentalism in the Middle East and how they treat women. The author fears something could happen in the United States. And her fear is inching closer to happening in the United States.
