This study explores the representation of femininity in The Handmaid's Tale and compares it with Black Mirror using theoretical perspectives such as performativity theory, and sociocultural feminism. The focus is on how gender and identity are constructed within popular culture, particularly in a dystopian context. The study analyzes women's roles, resistance to the system, the link between reproduction and power, and the use of clothing and body language. Through theoretical lenses, the essay reveals the complexity of gender construction and its relationship to societal norms and power structures. The findings contribute to understanding how popular culture shapes perceptions of femininity and gender.
