In 1985, Margaret Atwood published The Handmaid's Tale.
The Republic of Gilead, a dystopian theocratic society with
a caste system that is reinforced visually by various colored
clothing, abolished human rights for many—including women,
homosexuals and scientists—and enslaved as Handmaids, the
few remaining fertile woman.
