Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Television has optioned the rights to Elaine Weiss’s book The Woman’s Hour<\/em> and plans to develop the story about women’s suffrage for TV, with Hillary Clinton on board as an executive producer.<\/p>\n

The book follows the activists who led the decades-long fight to grant women the right to vote and sheds light on how close the battle to ratify the 19th Amendment really was. The plan is to develop The Woman’s Hour<\/em> as a long-form project for premium cable or streaming platforms.<\/p>\n

Clinton, Weiss and Amblin Television’s co-presidents, Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey, will serve as executive producers.<\/p>\n

Clinton said, “At the heart of democracy lies the ballot box, and Elaine Weiss’s unforgettable book tells the story of the female leaders who\u2014in the face of towering economic, racial, and political opposition\u2014fought for and won American women’s right to vote. Unfolding over six-weeks in the summer of 1920, The Woman’s Hour<\/em> is both a page-turning drama and an inspiration for everyone, young and old, male and female, in these perilous times. So much could have gone wrong, but these American women would not take no for an answer: their triumph is our legacy to guard and emulate.”<\/p>\n

She continued, “I am thrilled to be working with Elaine, Steven and everyone at Amblin Television on bringing this important project to audiences everywhere.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
