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
