Amazon Studios picks up Meg Wolitzer's "The Female Persuasion"

Amazon Studios has acquired the rights to Meg Wolitzer’s bestselling novel, The Female Persuasion.

Variety reported the news earlier this week, along with the fact that actress Nicole Kidman will be among those producing the film.

The Female Persuasion, which came out earlier this year, follows shy college student Greer Kadetsky as she falls under the activism spell of feminist icon Faith Frank.

It won’t be the first Wolitzer novel to reach the screen — The Wife recently hit theaters, with Oscar buzz surrounding star Glenn Close.
