Her \;landmark novel The Handmaid’s Tale (1985) was adapte d into a fifteen-time Emmy Award-winning television series\, and \;its sequel\, The \;Testaments (also a Hulu TV series)\, won \;the 2 019 Booker \;Prize. Her \;New York Times bestselling memoir\, Bo ok \;of Lives\, recounts \;the life of one of the greatest storyte llers of our time\, unveiling \;both the workings of a once-in-a-gener ation imagination and the connections between real life and \;art. In talks\, Atwood \;reveals hidden truths in our societies\, inspiring&nb sp\;us to speak out against injustice and preparing us for the battle ahea d. Today\, \;her \;sharp eye and characteristic wit are more cruci al—and prescient—than \;ever.\n\nDr. \;Shohini \;Ghose is a Professor of Physics and Computer Science and NSERC Chair for Women in S cience and Engineering at Wilfrid Laurier University and the Director of t he Laurier Centre for Women in Science \;(WinS).
