The image depicts a protestor wearing the costume described in "The Handmaid's Tale" which includes a crimson red robe and a white bonnet. The protestor also wears a red face mask and holds a sign that says "THIS IS NOT FICTION" in red font. The protestor is using Atwood's work to protest the overturning of Roe V Wade by comparing the novel's forced removal of women's bodily autonomy to the impacts of this judicial decision.
