Elizabeth Moss is on top of her game with 'The Handmaid's Tale' and 'Top Of The Lake'

The Handmaid’s Tale and Top Of The Lake have seen Elisabeth Moss continue her upward trajectory since Mad Men, writes Susan Griffin

THE cast of The Handmaid’s Tale made headlines at the Tribeca Film Festival in April when they didn’t refer to the story as a feminist piece of work. “I will only speak for myself because it’s a tricky area and I don’t want to get other people in trouble but I don’t think I quite said the right thing. Clearly,” says Elisabeth Moss, 34, who plays the lead in the small screen adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s 1985 novel.

“If there was anything I said that led anyone to believe I’m not a feminist or The Handmaid’s Tale is not a feminist work then obviously I didn’t say the right thing.
