Narges Mohammadi, serving a 16-year sentence for fighting Iran’s oppressive gender policies, utilized her temporary freedom to engage with global conversations about women's rights.
Margaret Atwood's 'The Handmaid's Tale' serves as a poignant backdrop for Mohammadi's experiences, illustrating the realities of autonomy and oppression within a theocratic regime.
The video call between Mohammadi and Atwood, facilitated by TIME, symbolized a connection across generations and experiences, bridging a narrative of resistance and hope.
Mohammadi’s experience embodies the struggle against gender apartheid in Iran, where patriarchal control mirrors the dystopian themes present in Atwood’s literary works.
