1939–, Canadian novelist and poet. Atwood is a skilled and powerful storyteller whose novels, set mainly in the near future, sometimes make use of such popular genres as historical, detective, and science fiction.

Her best-known novel, The Handmaid's Tale (1986; film 1990, miniseries 2017–), is set in a mid-21st-century American dystopia controlled by religious extremists, where men rule and women are wives, servants, or childbearers.
