Column: 'Mrs. America' shows how Phyllis Schlafly stopped the ERA. For a lifelong feminist, it's a tough watch. It's also one of TV's most important.

are just as amazing as you thought they would be. Add Uzo Aduba, Margo Martindale, Elizabeth Banks and Tracey Ullman as Shirley Chisholm, Bella Abzug, Jill Ruckelshaus and Betty Friedan, respectively, and you have one of the best-cast limited series in the history of limited series.

Because feminists are too radical, too humorless or, in the words of a former friend to whom I still am not speaking, “their own worst enemy.”If nothing else, “Mrs. America” — along with the recent revelation in the FX documentary “AKA Jane Roe” that Roe vs. Wade plaintiff Norma McCorvey Watching “Mrs. America” was, for me, a very emotional experience . The ERA had missed its final ratification deadline three years before I entered the offices of Ms., but many of the players from “Mrs. America” were still very much around.

“Oh, my God, we have been thanking Betty for years,” I remember one editor snapping after Friedan had said something about the movement’s ingratitude in the press. “She needs to move on.”At a Washington news conference on July 12, 1971, members of the National Women’s Political Caucus state that one of their goals is for women to comprise half of the delegates to the 1972 presidential conventions. Seated from left: Gloria Steinem, Rep. Shirley Chisholm and Betty Friedan. Standing is Rep.

'Bravest show in the history of TV.' Really? -_-

stop it

Grow up. It’s a clip from a television interview. We now have ‘Saving Private Ryan’ to ‘Dumb and Dumber Too’ on TV during prime time for children to watch.

Then tell Hulu and FX to release it to the rest of us. Wanted to watch since I saw the ads, but it’s exclusive to Hulu. 🙄

No thank-you.

I just cannot watch it. My blood pressure spikes up just hearing her name.

I had to shut off an episode recently. It was just too much to take in combination with our current reality. 🥺

Really...i just heard an interview from her daughter that said this show was all bullshit...everything in it is wrong...EVERYTHING!!!
