Margaret Atwood

Margaret Eleanor Atwood è una pluripremiata scrittrice, poetessa e attivista ambientale canadese, nata a Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, il 18 novembre 1939 e tuttora residente nel paese. Atwood ha vinto numerosi premi e riconoscimenti per le sue opere, tra cui il titolo di Umanista dell'anno assegnatole dall'American Humanist Association nel 1987. Ha pubblicato più di sessantacinque libri di narrativa, poesia, saggistica, letteratura per bambini e saggi critici, che sono stati tradotti in oltre 35 paesi.

Atwood è cresciuta nel nord dell'Ontario, in Quebec e a Toronto e ha conseguito la laurea presso il Victoria College dell'Università di Toronto e il master presso il Radcliffe College. Ha ricevuto numerosi premi e lauree honoris causa durante la sua carriera di scrittrice ed è nota soprattutto per i suoi romanzi, tra cui "The Edible Woman", "The Handmaid's Tale", "The Robber Bride", "Alias Grace" e "The Blind Assassin", che ha vinto il prestigioso Booker Prize nel 2000. Ha inoltre ampliato il suo lavoro in altre aree, tra cui sceneggiature per la televisione, poesia, saggistica, letteratura per bambini e saggi critici.

I romanzi di Atwood esplorano spesso temi come il femminismo, il genere e il potere. Il suo lavoro è stato tradotto in più di quaranta lingue, tra cui il persiano, il giapponese, il turco, il finlandese, il coreano, l'islandese e l'estone. È inoltre inventrice e co-inventrice del Long Pen TM. Oltre al suo lavoro di scrittrice, Atwood è stata membro attivo di varie associazioni letterarie. È stata presidente dell'Unione degli Scrittori del Canada da maggio 1981 a maggio 1982, presidente del Centro Canadese dell'Internazionale P.E.N. (parlante inglese) dal 1984 al 1986 ed è attualmente vicepresidente dell'Internazionale PEN. Attualmente vive a Toronto con il collega scrittore Graeme Gibson.
