As 2020 takes ever more gruesome twists and turns, FX's Mrs America transports viewers to the 1970s for a rare look at second-wave feminism and a dramatization of the struggle over the Equal Rights Amendment. Lita Brillman drops by to discuss the show's historical context and accuracy, the characters we saw and could have seen, and why feminism is about so much more than any one wave or a failed Amendment. Listen below, here, or on iTunes here.
