Atwood has written thematically diverse novels from a number of genres and traditions, including science fiction/speculative fiction,^[2] space opera and Southern Ontario Gothic. She is often described as a feminist writer, as issues of gender often (but not always) appear prominently in her work. Her work has focused on Canadian national identity, Canada’s relations with the United States and Europe, human rights issues, environmental issues, the Canadian wilderness, the social myths of femininity, representations of women’s bodies in art, women’s social and economic exploitation, as well as women’s relations with each other and with men (Howells 163). In her novel Oryx and Crake and in recent essays, she has demonstrated great interest in (and wariness of) unchecked biotechnology.

Her first collection of poetry was Double Persephone (1961). The Circle Game (1964), her second, won the Governor General's award for poetry. Of Atwood's poetry collections, the most well-known is perhaps The Journals of Susanna Moodie (1970), in which Atwood writes poems from the viewpoint of Susanna Moodie, a historical nineteenth-century Canadian pioneer on the frontier.

As a literary critic, she is best known as author of the seminal Survival: A Thematic Guide to Canadian Literature (1972), which is credited with sparking renewed interest in Canadian literature in the 1970s. She also wrote several television scripts, The Servant Girl (1974) and Days of the Rebels: 1815-1840 (1977).

Atwood has been vice-chairman of the Writers' Union of Canada and president of International PEN (1984-1986), an international group committed to promoting freedom of expression and freeing writers who are political prisoners. Elected a Senior Fellow of Massey College at the University of Toronto, she has sixteen honorary degrees, including a doctorate from Victoria College (1987), and was inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame in 2001. Her literary papers are housed at the University of Toronto's Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library. She was awarded the Humanist of the Year award from the American Humanist Association in 1987. [1]

Though frequently identified with the left, Atwood has described herself as a Red Tory.^[3] Among her more notable acts of activism, Atwood donated all of her Booker Prize money to environmental causes and gave up her house in France after Jacques Chirac resumed nuclear testing. An active member of Amnesty International, Atwood once promised a free subscription to its bimonthly reports to the next person who accused her of being too pessimistic; it is unknown who, if anyone, has collected.^{zh-hans:;zh-hant:[來源請求]}

She invented the "LongPen" billed as "the world's first long distance signing device."^[4] On 11 March 2008, Atwood announced that she had accepted a commission from City Opera Vancouver to write the libretto for 'Pauline', with music by Christos Hatzis and starring Judith Forst as Pauline Johnson. Set in Vancouver in March of 1913, this chamber opera will deal with issues of identity, art and the duality of a private life in conflict with its public face. It will be premiered at the historic Pantages Theatre in Vancouver in 2010. Charles Barber, himself a student of the legendary Carlos Kleiber, will conduct. At this writing, an offer has been made to a distinguished stage director, but is still in negotiation.
