About

"Political rivals reframed as flawed, formidable women"

This miniseries dramatizes the 1970s battle over the Equal Rights Amendment, told through the women on both sides: conservative organizer Phyllis Schlafly and feminist leaders like Gloria Steinem, Betty Friedan, and Shirley Chisholm. Each episode shifts focus to a different woman, building a mosaic of ambition, strategy, and ideology rather than a single throughline. It is talky, meticulously researched, and driven almost entirely by performance, with a murderers' row of actresses elevating dense political material into something sharp and human. It rewards patience and interest in the era's politics.

Watch it for

the ensemble of performances, especially Cate Blanchett's uncanny, complicated take on Phyllis Schlafly.

Maybe skip if

you want fast-moving plot rather than dialogue-heavy political and personal maneuvering.
