Through the eyes of the women of that era—both Schlafly and second-wave feminists Gloria Steinem, Betty Friedan, Shirley Chisholm, Bella Abzug and Jill Ruckelshaus—the series explores how one of the toughest battlegrounds in the culture wars of the ’70s helped give rise to the Moral Majority and forever shifted the political landscape.

But I grew up in a backlash when you were considered a man hater in the 1980s and that you wanted to prevent men from doing things. And I couldn't understand how even as a teenager, [why] the notion of equality was so difficult for people.”
