What was the title of Serena Joy's book in the TV episode A Woman's Place?

Serena Joy's book in the episode “A Woman's Place” is titled *A Woman's Place*.

The title appears in a flashback in the sixth episode of the first season of Hulu's *The Handmaid's Tale*. Before Gilead, Serena Joy is a conservative cultural activist and author who promotes ideas about women's domestic and religious roles.

The episode makes the title especially ironic. Serena helped advocate a social order that placed women in the home, yet Gilead later removes her own access to public speech, reading, and writing. Her earlier public career becomes something the new regime suppresses.

The book is fictional and belongs to the television adaptation's expanded backstory for Serena Joy. It should not be confused with the episode title alone, or with unrelated real-world books also called *A Woman's Place*. “Smart Power,” another option, is instead the title of a later episode.
