Hey, think The Handmaid’s Tale is the book that best explains where we’re headed as a country? May I suggest to you the slightly-less-extreme-and-therefore-perhaps-even-more-terrifying Red Clocks by Leni Zumas?

If women can’t prevent pregnancy - and make no mistake about it, they are coming for hormonal contraceptives next - and can’t end a pregnancy, and can’t afford childcare for multiple children, then she can’t afford to stay in school or work full-time.
