'I think we've come a very long way, but not much has changed. There's still a lot of work to be done.' Dickinson star HaileeSteinfeld opens up about the similarities to present day issues she sees in Emily Dickinson's social struggles
To play a young version of 19th century poet Emily Dickinson in one of Apple TV+'s first series, Hailee Steinfeld had to don period-appropriate clothes, including a waist-cinching corset and layers of petticoats, costumes that she says required the help of "one, if not two, women."points out, however, that unlike "what the women of the time went through," she "could loosen [her corset] up at lunch and to go to the bathroom.
But when it came to the social struggles Dickinson faced in trying to make an impact as a woman, Steinfeld can't help but see similarities to the present day. "There are so many parallels," Steinfeld tells. "Here's [someone] who in her time had to fight fearlessly for her rights and her voice to be heard, just to be understood as an artist and as a woman, and that is very much still happening today. I think we've come a very long way, but not much has changed.
I love so much that this show is so driven by Emily's poetry. She [wrote] about everything from butterflies and bees and flowers to the grave to her sexuality to her relationship with her family, things that were not spoken about in that time and even now. I love that she was so unapologetically herself. She loved who she wanted to love. She wrote when she wanted to write, about whatever she wanted to write. She didn't really care about offending anybody.
