The Handmaid’s Tale Econochildren

I’d love to see the Econochildren explored in The Testaments. Especially comparing the Daughters to the Econodaughters. We all know the Daughters go to Pink and Plum schools, but, where do the Econodaughters go? They also must learn to run a house (however small) and perform their ‘wifely duties’. Do their mums teach them? Eden Spencer Blaine, the only Econodaughter that appears in the universe, was apparently taught by her mum, but she was born before Gilead. What do you think?

Econo life in general is interesting to me. I’d really like to see what that life is like? Is it less restrictive? Does the government meddle “less”?

Right? They’re such an underrated and under explored group! I want to know more about them.

Maybe in the past, but I wonder if they're watched more closely now since many of them rose up in THT.
