10 Innocent Women Were Persecuted During The Salem Witch Trials One of the most clear examples of history that The Handmaid's Tale uses is the persecution of innocent women during the Salem Witch Trials.

Although little evidence supported these claims, these women were publicly executed, and over 200 people were accused during that time period.
