The series was given a nine-episode order and will be executive produced by Waller, Blanchett, Stacey Sher, and Coco Francini.
Mrs. America will narrate the modern history of the women’s movement and comes from Emmy-winner producer/writer Dahvi Waller (Mad Men, Halt and Catch Fire) for FX Productions.
Mrs. America will tell the true story of the rise of feminism through the eyes of Schlafly, who led the backlash to the work of second-wave feminists like Gloria Steinem, Betty Friedan, Shirley Chisholm, Bella Abzug, and Jill Ruckelshaus.
Schlafly waged a campaign against the passage of the ERA as well as against the legalization of abortion and the gay rights movement.
