Variety

Banks is the latest big name to join the limited series telling the story of the movement to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), and the unexpected backlash led by conservative firebrand Phyllis Schlafly, played by Blanchett, according to Variety. Banks will play a "pro-choice, socially progressive Republican who was appointed by President Ford to advance women’s rights and fought to keep the Republican Party from being taken over by Phyllis Schlafly and the Religious Right."
