Mrs. America

Mrs. America is a television miniseries developed by FX, exclusively streaming on Hulu. The series recounts the true story of the movement to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) and the unexpected backlash led by Phyllis Schlafly, a conservative woman known as "the sweetheart of the silent majority". Brought to us through the eyes of the woman of the era, both those for and against the ratification, the series brings to life how one of the toughest battlegrounds in the culture wars of the seventies helped give rise to the Moral Majority and forever shifted the political landscape.

The series can count on a stellar team, both in front and behind the camera, with Cate Blanchett taking on the role of the influential anti-feminist Phyllis Schlafly as well as being an executive producer of the show. Other iconic women of that time such as Gloria Steinem, Bella Abzug, Shirley Chisholm, Jill Ruckelshaus, and Betty Friedan are brought to the present by the award-winning or award-nominated actresses Rose Byrne, Margo Martindale, Uzo Aduba, Elizabeth Banks, and Tracey Ullman respectively. The only original character of the series, Alice Macray, can also count on Emmy and Golden Globe Award winner Sarah Paulson to put the character right up there with the icons.

The show is created and run by Emmy Award winner Dahvi Waller, who is joined as its executive producer by Academy Award nominated Stacey Sher, Coco Francini, Cate Blanchett, and Anna Boden & Ryan Fleck, who also directed four of the nine episodes.
