Mrs. America strikes an extreme balance. At a time when feminism is in the spotlight and social progress is inevitable, the show is full of parallels that cannot be ignored in the current political moment. The play is brisk but not stubborn, and the ideological consensus and differences are exceptionally coordinated between the second wave of feminism and the emerging moral majority movement that was brought into the political mainstream by Schlafly. At the same time, miniseries are better at humanizing historical characters, especially their doubts and vulnerabilities. In this sense, the show may be a rare historical drama more illuminating than a documentary on the same subject, bringing history to life with thoughtful, authentic detail.

The best of the season, I cried several times. One cannot truly succeed by betraying one's gender.

Schlafly's remarks and gestures are the mirror of today's opposition: the world is around you, and if you can't see the wider society and women who are discriminated against, you think social discrimination does not exist; baseless speculation and slandering women's rights seek not equality but privilege; Bound at home, euphemistically called protection. Some of them are also unhappy in real life, only by stigmatizing feminism to win the attention of their peers; the originally mild conversation has become intensified due to their repeated provocation, just to buckle the hat of women's boxing. But their arguments are so extreme and ridiculous: they think that the development of feminism has produced some contradictions, so women's struggle is not justified; they accuse women of squeezing men's resources, but their strategy is not to help men fight for resources, but to shoot Fighting for women's struggles; or expecting feminism to solve all problems of both men and women, leaving things unrelated to oneself, and then enjoying the success. Anti-feminism is not a kind of doctrine, it is not a system, it only refutes but does not make arguments, only questioning but not constructing, its role is only to point out the existing flaws of feminist theory and help it continue to improve and develop.
