The upcoming biopic will be based on Gloria Steinem’s best-selling memoir My Life on the Road. It’s been described as “the story of her itinerant childhood’s influence on her life as a writer, activist, and organizer for women’s rights worldwide.”

Julianne Moore, Alicia Vikander and newcomer Lulu Wilson will portray this trailblazer during different stages of her life. Janelle Monáe is set to play fellow feminist legend and good friend Dorothy Pitman Hughes.

2018 has been a pretty crazy year for Monáe but in a completely different department. Her latest studio album Dirty Computer was a smash-hit and it even received Grammy Award for the biggest honor of the night – Album of the Year.

This doesn’t mean she’s a complete stranger to the world of acting. Monáe got her breakthrough in 2016, thanks to the roles in Hidden Figures and Moonlight and joined several promising projects ever since.

This exciting project is based on Steinem’s memoir My Life on the Road, published in 2015. It will serve as a coming-of-age account of her blossoming into a feminist icon, framed through stories of experiences she encountered while traveling the world.

Julie Taymor, the Oscar-nominated director behind Frida, will be in charge of bringing her story to life. Her adaptation of My Life on the Road will be based on the script by Tony-nominated playwright Sarah Ruhl.

Alicia Vikander will play Steinem during her formative years, but she won’t be the only one in charge of portraying this reluctant spokesperson of the feminist movement. Julianne Moore was cast as the older version of the character about a year ago, and we’re sure both actresses will give all they’ve got to tell the tale of one of the most inspiring leaders in the world.
