Of course, the show is not entirely focused on Blanchett’s antihero: we also get to spend time with her opposition (although not nearly enough, according to some critics, who feel the scales are tipped in Sclafly’s favour). Throughout the series, then, we see Schlafly go up against an all-star band of feminists: Gloria Steinem, Bella Abzug, Shirley Chisholm, Jill Ruckelshaus, and Betty Friedan.

Unfortunately for our merry band of women’s libbers, they’re too busy fighting among themselves about intersectionality to give Shlafly a run for her money. And, while they’re calling for equality, they’re failing to properly address the issues that arise for BAME and LGBTQ+ feminists.

As per Rolling Stone: “Friedan doesn’t want gay rights being part of their platform; Chisholm is accused of favouring women’s issues over black ones (and vice versa); Ruckelshaus strongly disagrees with her colleagues on many issues, and so on.”

The result? They become a “circular firing squad, while Schlafly and her followers are shooting at them in unison.”
