made its debut at the 2020 Television Critics Association winter press tour on Thursday, weighing in on the 1970s fight for women's rights, and still in 2020., which stars Cate Blanchett, Elizabeth Banks, Sarah Paulson, Uzo Aduba, Rose Byrne, Margo Martindale, John Slattery, Jeanne Tripplehorn and Tracey Ullman, centers on the efforts — and opposition — to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment.
"In the process of developing it — like with Roe v. Wade — there were questions with 'Is this really relevant, do we really need a whole episode about this?'" the star said during the panel discussion.
With women from both sides of the movement highlighted in the show — including second-wave feminists Gloria Steinem , Betty Friedan , Shirley Chisholm , Bella Abzug and Jill Ruckelshaus — Waller said the writers and producers made a conscious effort to "create a series with shades of grey" that didn't take a side.
