Cracking the Code: A Clue for the History Buff
Hey crossword fans! This week’s clue has me scratching my head and reaching for the history books. It’s a tough one, but with a little digging and a dash of historical knowledge, I’m sure we can crack it.
Let’s delve into the clue:
Legislative subject of the 2020 miniseries “Mrs. America,” for short.
This clue is a bit of a double whammy. Not only does it test our knowledge of recent television, but it also requires us to recall a pivotal historical event. Let’s break it down:
“Legislative subject”
: This tells us we’re looking for a piece of legislation, a law or act that was passed (or attempted to be passed).
“2020 miniseries “Mrs. America””
: This narrows down our search to a specific piece of legislation featured in the miniseries, which focused on the fight for and against the Equal Rights Amendment.
“For short”
: This tells us the answer will be an abbreviation, a shortened form of the full name of the legislation.
So, let’s combine our knowledge of the miniseries and our understanding of American history. What was the pivotal piece of legislation that was the focal point of the “Mrs. America” story? Remember, we need the shortened form of the legislation.
This is a tricky one, but I’m confident that with a little research and a good dose of historical awareness, we’ll crack this clue. Good luck, fellow cruciverbalists!
