Weiss' book, which was released in the spring, follows the \"remarkable activists who led the decades-long fight to grant women the right to vote and sheds light on how close the battle to ratify the 19th Amendment really was,\" Clinton said in the statement. \"An inspiring story, 'The Woman’s Hour,' celebrates those who changed history and laid the foundation for the civil rights movement that came decades later.\"

The book will be adapted as a long-form project either for premium cable or streaming platforms. THR reported that it's undecided whether it will be a TV movie or limited series.

This won't be Clinton's first foray into television. She is slated to guest star on the premiere episode of the fifth season of \"Madam Secretary.\"

Meanwhile, her husband is adapting \"The President Is Missing,\" his book with James Patterson, as a scripted drama for Showtime. And in May Netflix announced that former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama have inked a multiyear deal with Netflix, which could include scripted series, unscripted series, docu-series, documentaries and features.
