    The Broads Watch Mrs. America Episode 1

    Emily and Lauren talk about the premiere episode of FX's original miniseries Mrs. America, which follows the fight for (and against) the Equal Rights Amendment in the 1970s. From Vulture: “Schlafly comes across as a complex, ambitious figure with a limited worldview and no awareness of that worldview’s limits, nor curiosity about widening it further. To put it more bluntly: She’s the worst kind of white woman.” Links: Watch Mrs. America with us on Hulu! Follow Persistent Broads on Instagram
