This is a Handmaid's Tale fanfiction. Mary is the daughter of Commander Charles and his wife Juliette. In Gilead the daughters are only given schooling that primarily focuses on domestic arts such as crochet, gardening and music. However, when the daughters turn 16 they must attend a school to learn the duties of a Wife so that when they turn the marriageable age of 17 they will be prepared to lead the life of a Wife to a Commander. These simple duties, however, do not interest Mary as she secretly dreams about science and literature.All Rights Reserved
