Elizabeth Banks discusses her role in the star-studded FX on Hulu miniseries MrsAmerica

chronicles the movement to pass the Equal Rights Amendment in the 1970s — and the conservative backlash led by Phyllis Schlafly . But before Schlafly's involvement, there was almost unanimous bipartisan support for the legislation. Jill Ruckleshaus, played by Elizabeth Banks, is the real-life socially progressive Republican who worked to pass the ERA from the right side of the aisle.

Below, Banks discusses working with other powerful women, why men need to watch the series, and what she's taken fromJill Ruckelshaus is not someone who is always remembered in the same context as her liberal counterparts. What are some things you learned about Jill or that you admired about her that you came across in your research?

We felt that way when we were making it as well. "You've come a long way baby" — I think it's true in some respects and this show really shines a light on really where we are still failing so many women in America and around the world, honestly. We are half the population and we are up against quite a lot of historical patriarchy and misogyny. We thought, I think, that we could win these battles quickly and turns out that we cannot.

It's true — you rarely see that many powerful actresses together outside of, like, an award season roundtable right?

RonanFarrow MrsAmerica chapter 6 is the most disturbing yet! Secretaries were expected to 'put out' to keep their jobs with Congressmen who actually asked women if they gave 'Blow Jobs' during job interviews! Schlafly's platform is all lies, she opened doors to 2020 radicals.

She looks a lot like Janefonda in this pic!
