Elisabeth told The Guardian that her character on The Handmaid's Tale tells a feminist story:
"Feminism is equal rights for men and women. Men and women are both humans, so, for me, that makes my characters and the work that I do human stories. I play a f*cking sexual slave, I play a breeder, a host, a woman for whom all of her rights, and all of her family and friends, have been taken away. She has nothing. So, yes, it is a feminist story."
