Episode 96 -- Phyllis Schlafly, Part 2

This is the second part of our epic deep dive into the life of Phyllis Schlafly -- the far-right firebrand who brought down an amendment and arguably helped transform a political party. In Part 2, Moira walks Adrian through Schlafly's attack on the Equal Rights Amendment, and how she pioneered a whole new style of politics to defeat what had been essentially a done deal -- or carried it into the mainstream, at any rate.

Here is a list of books we'll be referring to in both parts of this episode:

Andrea Dworkin, Right Wing Women

Jane J. Mansbridge, How We Lost the ERA

Marjorie J. Spruill, Divided We Stand

Donald T. Critchlow, Phyllis Schlafly and Grassroots Conservatism

Phyllis Schlafly, A Choice Not an Echo

Phyllis Schlafly, Strike from Space
