Mrs. America

St. Louis Public Library

Staff-created list

The "Mrs. America" miniseries launches April 15 on FX on Hulu. The series includes episodes titled "Phyllis," "Gloria," "Shirley," "Bella," and "Betty" so we have collected works by or about those women and other relevant material into this list to provide context and background to the fight for and against the Equal Rights Amendment.
