Elisabeth Moss: I'm a staunch believer in women's rights

Actress Elisabeth Moss said she is a loyal supporter of women rights and empowerment. The 34-year-old actress said she cares for the cause, that needs to be achieved not only

Hollywood

but also beyond in real life.


"I'm such a staunch believer in women's rights, I don't really give a ... about anybody who isn't." "It's like, I don't need them to watch the show. At a certain point, things are more important than your job," said Moss.

The actress, who recently featured in 'The Handmaid's Tale', received flak for calling the dystopian drama not a 'feminist story'. Moss, best known for her role as

Peggy Olson

in '

Mad Men

', had raked up a storm when she said she "never intended to play Offred as a feminist", at its Tribeca Film Festival premiere this year.
