How to use handmaid in a sentence?

1. Bruce Miller:

   The Handmaid Tale's amazing, flattering and horrible, you wished you lived in a world where when people dressed up as handmaids, it was just Halloween and not a political statement. I would very much like our show to become irrelevant -- interesting but completely fantastical.

2. Hillary Clinton:

   The show has prompted important conversation about women's rights and autonomy. In 'The Handmaid's Tale,' women's rights are gradually, slowly stripped away. As one character says, 'We didn't look up from our phones until it was too late,' it's not too late for us, but we have to encourage the millions of women and men who support Planned Parenthood's mission to keep fighting.

3. Bari Weiss:

   But I'm sorry, if you're watching cable news all day, right ? Getty Images's what you're gon na think, there is misinformation and not just on podcasts and the internet. It's also on cable news. I think the biggest thing to me about the Democrats is … the Democrats is supposed to be the party of the little guy … You know what the Democrats are now comfortable with, or seemingly comfortable with ? A two-tiered system in which the haves get to go into a restaurant, laugh with their friends for hours and the people serving them are masked and wearing gloves. Where they get to walk, as AOC did, at the Met Gala while in the background the staff looked like they were in' The Handmaid's Tale.' I mean, this is, this is a look that is unbelievably detrimental to them.
