Summary

Since Donald Trump’s election win, sales of dystopian and politically themed books have surged, with titles like The Handmaid’s Tale and 1984 climbing the U.S. bestseller lists.

Feminist and anti-tyranny works, such as Men Explain Things to Me by Rebecca Solnit and On Democracy by Timothy Snyder, have also seen significant spikes, reflecting public concerns over women’s rights and democratic values.

Women’s rights groups and individuals have voiced alarm over potential threats to reproductive rights, recalling Trump’s support for the Roe v. Wade overturn during his previous term.
