I started watching this show with a prejudice of Chinese TV series, so I didn't understand it very well in the first few episodes. I thought the protagonist Shlafly must have made a great contribution to the cause of women's liberation, or that she must change factions and start fighting for women's rights later, and then I found out that I was wrong. For me, this was unexpected and surprising in terms of the plot arrangement.
The ERA didn't pass, but Shlafly didn't make it to the cabinet either, so no one was completely victorious as far as the play's main conflict was concerned. The real victory is the men behind the scenes with little to no footage. The ending was another surprise for me. I think the director has resolved the question of "setting up the enemy of women's rights as women" with such an ending. The director tries to remain neutral, depicting the conflicts and contradictions of the two factions, or in other words, whether it is the difficulties faced by liberal feminists or the obstacles encountered by conservative women, it is the same. Under the clear line of the contest between the two factions, the director also laid out a dark line of contradictions and conflicts between women and men in power. I think this is what the director wants to express. The director has expressed this in many places.
However, in any case, you can't stop taking action because of difficulties. Whether it is women's rights, or the rights of any other minority and disadvantaged groups, we need to fight for a long time. This is not the cause of only one group, but the cause of progress for all mankind.
We have just set sail on the journey of exploring the possibilities of growth in each of us. No matter how long this revolution takes, we will never turn around.
