A major theme of the book is the wives of the commanders being complicit in the creation of Gilead and the subjugation of themselves and other women. That fits quite well with the biblical story of the wife coming up with the handmaid scheme. If a woman’s entire value to society is to produce children, the more wealthy women will outsource the job. It’s not all the different from surrogacy today.

I felt kind the first season of the show captured the tone of the book quite well.
