Starring Cate Blanchett
9 episodes

"Mrs. America tells the true story of the movement to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment, and the unexpected backlash led by a conservative woman named Phyllis Schlafly, played by Blanchett. Through the eyes of the women of that era — both Schlafly and second-wave feminists Gloria Steinem, Betty Friedan, Shirley Chisholm, Bella Abzug and Jill Ruckelshaus — the series explores how one of the toughest battlegrounds in the culture wars of the ’70s helped give rise to the Moral Majority and forever shifted our political landscape."[1]

3. Hope they cover the fact that the major insurance companies

brought her to the table from the get go.

Reason: They wanted to keep rating up women for medical and life insurance.

ETA: I had to have dinner with her one time. Fortunately Karen DeCrow was also at the table so I did not have to say a word. I just listened while Karen ate her lunch.

4. Fascinating

I do wonder what treatment they give it. I don't think it's going to be completely flattering.
