a star-studded, nine-part limited series following the battle over the Equal Rights Amendment.
On one side is an “Avengers"-style team of feminists, led by Gloria Steinem , Bella Abzug , Betty Friedan and Shirley Chisholm , who are pushing to enact the measure, which would guarantee legal quality between the sexes. But they face pushback from conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly and an army of bread-baking homemakers who fear that cultural change is coming too quickly and the ERA will lead to things like women being drafted into the military.
The first three episodes of the series premiered Wednesday on FX on Hulu and cover a number of events early in the fight, when ratification of the ERA seemed likely and feminists such as Steinem were at the height of their political influence. For those eager to learn more, below is a selection of articles from The Times about the figures and events portrayed in the first three episodes.
