Cate Blanchett is trying to help soothe the souls of everyone stuck at home.

Mrs. America, which debuted this week via FX on Hulu, is one of the most anticipated series of 2020. With a knockout performance from two-time Oscar and three-time Golden Globe winner Cate Blanchett, Mrs. America provides a sweeping view of the modern feminist movement, as it traces the story of the push to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment in the early 1970s. Reviews are good, and for good reason: Mrs. America not only makes history come alive, but makes it entertaining, poignant and relevant to today too.

If there is one thing Mrs. America is hell bent on showing its audience, it's that feminism is complex, messy, and extremely divisive among women — too discordant to even result in much progress. It's a slippery hill to die on, but the new FX on Hulu series aims to chronicle the modern history of feminism in the U.S. with all its jagged imperfections.
