The Handmaid's Tale and Cracking India provide a context for introducing second-year students to transnational feminisms. Students with wide-ranging preparation engaged the critiques and "horizons of possibility" that transnational feminisms propose, grounding their work in the perspectives each novel illuminates, considered in tandem.
