![]() The three reporting areas that did not submit data to the CDC in 2020 – California, Maryland and New Hampshire – accounted for approximately 19% of all abortions in the U.S. Since 1997, the CDC’s totals have lacked data from some states (most notably California) for the years that those states did not report data to the agency. ![]() Its figures from 1973 through 1996 include data from all 50 states, the District of Columbia and New York City – 52 “reporting areas” in all. The CDC data that is highlighted in this post comes from the agency’s “abortion surveillance” reports, which have been published annually since 1974 (and which have included data from 1969). ![]() ![]() This compilation of data on abortion in the United States draws mainly from two sources: the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Guttmacher Institute, both of which have regularly compiled national abortion data for approximately half a century, and both of which collect their data in different ways. ![]()

![]() Now Atwood has returned to the world of Gilead with The Testaments, a new novel that takes place around 15 years after the events of the first. The Handmaid's Tale season 1 finale reached this same point almost beat-for-beat, but with two more seasons under its belt, it had to devise its own methods for continuing Offred's story. full title The Testaments author Margaret Atwood type of work Novel genre Dystopian fiction feminist political novel spy thriller language English time and place written Canada, late 2010s date of first publication Septempublisher Nan A. It's an uncertain ending for the character, since we don't know whether June makes it to safety, is taken into even greater danger, or perhaps even both. First published in 1985, The Handmaid's Tale, which takes place in a dystopian United States that's been overtaken by a totalitarian theocracy and finds woman forced into servitude and child-bearing, ended on a rather ambiguous note.Īt the end of The Handmaid's Tale book, a pregnant Offred (whose real name is June, as revealed by the TV series) is taken away from the Waterfords' home and into a van, never to be seen again. ![]() ![]() Margaret Atwood's sequel to The Handmaid's Tale book has finally revealed what happened to June, a,k.a Offred, after the ending of the original novel. ![]() ![]() There’s a veteran named Ava wearing two sets of tags, one belonging to her and one belonging to someone else and a boy named LeGrande who is nervous and seems to be scared of women who might be Mack’s biggest competition.Īs we approach the ¼ mark in the novel, I liked the characters and was invested in the story so I couldn’t wait for the game to begin. From the introductions of the 14 people competing many are either wannabe celebrities or down and out celebrities but there are a few like Mack. This is giving me similar vibes to the movie, Would You Rather? which had a similar premise. ![]() Mack is offered the chance to compete in a hide and seek competition for a large sum of money if she wins and after meeting her competitors she feels she had a good chance at winning. ![]() The second disturbing things is that our protagonist, Mack’s while family was murdered by her father and the only reason she is alive is because she hid the entire time.

I recently finished Go Hunt Me by Kelly deVos and Hide sounds like a similar kind of book so I decided to pick it up and give it a go since I adored Go Hunt Me. ![]() ![]() ![]() But Groff, in what must rank among the most original and vivid novels I have ever read, has reimagined Marie’s life as a feminist heroine who turns her painful banishment into unheard-of success. History knows little of Marie de France, as she called herself, aside from her narrative poems set in Brittany with chivalric and fairy-tale themes, and her fables about animals. Besides, the queen says, with Marie’s deep voice, huge hands, and taste for disputation, she has no feminine charm or art whatsoever, so who’d marry her? Having managed a family estate in Maine, a French province bordering Normandy and Brittany, Marie is judged to be just the person to turn the abbey into a moneymaker. ![]() In 1158, Queen Eleanor of England removes seventeen-year-old Marie from her court at Westminster and dispatches her as prioress to a struggling abbey. ![]() ![]() There is also a contact link on every page as well in case you ever need extra help.
