Trivia
Andrew Schlafly, the son of Phyllis Schlafly, spoke out against this show through his website Conservapedia, labeling it as fake and nothing more than left wing propaganda. Not all of the program's critics are politically on the right, however: Gloria Steinem, played by Rose Byrne, called it "hopelessly wrong... factually, historically wrong", stating that it was mainly corporate lobbying which slowed the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment.

Don't miss it

As a woman who is old enough to remember the events in this series, I can say most of it is true. And as a New Yorker, it brings back memories. Despite a few reviewers who claim this is a 'disgusting' and false portrayal of the early 70s women's movement, sorry, they are wrong. And if they look at Wikipedia's entry of Phyllis Schlafly, they will learn. This is a very entertaining and important series, don't miss it.
