Important quotes
sid 71: "It doesn't matter that she shouldn't, that she never would. What matters is that she could, if she wanted. The power to hurt is a kind of wealth."
The only way to be safe is to own the place. - Reoccuring throughout the book. Comes from the voice in Allie.
My thoughts
Mentioned in same breath, The power being the answer for the handmaids tale. The power is less imminent and danger less personal. Hope to find The handmaid´s tale as implausible as The Power seems today. Dystopia for men.
