Set in a frightening America of the near future where women--categorized in terms of whether or not they are able to bear children--function only in the strictly defined roles coercively imposed upon them by men. Reminds us that the evils of a totalitarian state can arise from the religious, conservative right as well as the socialistic left; only reason and individual rights can save us from either side. Compellingly written.
