NOTES Born in November 18, 1939 in Ottowa, Ontario, Canada, Margaret Atwood is a renowned novelist, poet and literary critic having published 18 novels, 18 books of poetry, and variety of non-fiction and short stories across her career. She is best known for her 1985 dystopian novel "The Handmaid's Tale" which won several awards and was made into a highly successful television adaptation in 2017. "The Edible Woman" was published in 1969 and would be Atwood's first novel. Though it contained many feminist ideals as a satire of North American consumerism, it would be regarded by Atwood herself as "protofeminist" as it was written prior to the rise of the second-wave feminist movement of the era.
