As he does these things to her, it drives her to want to escape from her father and the restrictions he places upon her. She sees getting married as the only option get away from her father.
At that time, a woman’s life is just like passing from her father’s hand to her husband’s. And the society did not think it was a wrong thing, they still thought women should only pleased their husbands first and they should not to work as men, all their job and duty was to be a good housewife, take care of the whole family.

This power structure is kept strong by making failures out of oneself and taking away any independence the women may have including the wives. The handmaids are raped and forced into childbirth and the wives are equally imprisoned because they are married to the masterminds of such a hideous society. I cannot imagine living is a society where my choice to have a child is stolen from me. Society that will punish with death or torture if I decide to rebel against child birth. Birth is a gift given to a woman’s body from GOD.

Should IVF be available on the NHS? One reason for IVF being available on the NHS is that women who desperately want children of their own, wont be able to have them without the expensive IVF treatment. Many women are focused on their carers, and they don’t think about the time when they will be incapable of having a child. This leads to them trying to have children to late and them not being able to. I think that all women should be able to have children of their own, it’s not their fault that they were trying to create a better lifestyle for their ‘wanted child’ and if that means getting IVF treatment, they should be able to have it as an option provided by the NHS.
