The Glorias spends more time than most biopics do on Steinem’s early life and her relationship with her parents. (The Andrews Sisters played there on Aug. 6, 1941, and definitely went through with the show because afterward, Patty Andrews was in a car crash that made the news.) Vikander plays Steinem as a journalist in the 1960s and Moore portrays her as a key figure in the women’s liberation movement during the 1970s and beyond. Harvey Egan invited her to speak without getting permission from the archdiocese, conservatives and anti-abortion activists were outraged she was allowed to speak at all, and eventually Egan was reprimanded by the archbishop. As a journalist and activist, Steinem has carved out a huge legacy of achievement that extends from helping launch Ms. Magazine to co-founding the National Women's Political Caucus to fighting for the still-unrealized Equal Rights Amendment and beyond. Fittingly, Steinem's story shares the screen with snapshots of key feminist titans who were her friends and allies, including Dorothy Pitman Hughes (Janelle Monáe), Flo Kennedy (Lorraine Toussaint), Bella Abzug (Bette Midler), and Wilma Mankiller (Kimberly Guerrero). Roadside Attractions is shifting Gloria Steinem biopic “The Glorias” from a theatrical launch to a streaming release on Amazon Prime Video on Sept. 30. "It's yet another reason to win the next election and to vote," says Steinem, the public face of the feminist movement for the last 50 years. I wasn't present (during the filming). I had faith she would tell the emotional truth. (She’s played by four actresses: as a child by Ryan Kiera Armstrong, as a teen by Lulu Wilson, in her 20s and 30s by Alicia Vikander, and in her 40s and above by Julianne Moore.). "If I do that, if I ask myself that question, and do my best to do it, then Ruth will still be here. Clips of contemporary television footage reinforce how much, in those days, sexism was simply the accepted norm, from Richard Nixon appearing baffled at the thought that women would want a title that did not indicate their marital status to Harry Reasoner confidently declaring that Ms. magazine would run out of things to write about after an issue or two (it began publication in 1972 and continues to this day). My Life on the Road is less reticent: The men in the cab were Gay Talese (speaking) and Saul Bellow. I knew that this was a love story about the women who became a part of her life. Dorothy Pitman Hughes, and Janelle Monáe as Dorothy Pitman Hughes in. F-series on Flipkart! The release of 'Mulan' won't have a theatrical release. That’s true of My Life on the Road as well, because Steinem credits her love of travel to her father, Leo (Timothy Hutton), a small-time antique dealer who took her along on his yearly road trips. And you'll never see this message again. Huerta has credited Steinem and Eleanor Smeal with changing her mind—but it isn’t very likely that Steinem invited Huerta to abandon an anti-abortion protest to check out the National Women’s Conference, because Huerta was already a delegate. The Glorias presents a compressed view of Steinem’s early career in journalism, mostly taken from My Life on the Road, in which Steinem alludes in general terms to her difficulties getting the assignments she wanted from male editors. I was rebelling. By joining Slate Plus you support our work and get exclusive content. "I was supposed to lead a certain kind of life, have a regular job, get married and have children. You won’t find her time at Smith College here, or her work for the CIA, or her stint writing TV comedy for That Was the Week That Was; it’s not that kind of movie. Cherokee activist Wilma Mankiller plays a large role in The Glorias’ final section, which shows Steinem working on Mankiller’s 1987 campaign to become the first woman elected principal chief of the Cherokee Nation. A strong cast of supporting players further enhance the story, including Janelle Monáe as Dorothy Pitman Hughes, Lorraine Toussaint as Florynce Kennedy, Bette Midler as Bella Abzug, Kimberly Guerrero as Wilma Mankiller, Monica Sanchez as Dolores Huerta, and Margo Moorer as Barbara Jordan. As someone who helped pave the way for current gains like the #MeToo movement, Steinem is heartened by its global spread. Steinem wasn't involved in the project and says it was "false in its basis" for portraying Phyllis Schlafly and her homemaker allies, not corporate foes, as the prime forces behind the defeat of the Equal Rights Amendment. Leave a Comment on The Glorias (Roadside Attractions/Amazon Prime, R) G loria Steinem lived a big, unconventional life, in an era that’s not so far in the past, yet in many ways is light ages distant from today.
