The Handmaid's Tale

Margaret Atwood's feminist 1984 is an excellent A-level text. As one of the few women left with functioning ovaries Offred has only one role in the Republic of Gilead: to breed. If she deviates she will be hanged at the wall like all dissenters. But Offred still remembers how life used to be and determines to find a way out.
