Defred é uma Serva na República de Gileade, onde o trabalho, a leitura e a formação de amizades estão vedados às mulheres. Está ao serviço do Comandante e da sua mulher e, na nova ordem social, tem um único propósito: uma vez por mês, tem de se deitar de costas e rezar para que o Comandante a engravide, porque, numa era de nascimentos em declínio, Defred e as outras Servas são valorizadas apenas se forem férteis.
