"Commentator and author Phyllis Schlafly is described by US History as a “career woman” who came out of nowhere to organize – and finally defeat – the ERA proposed during the 1970s and 1980s."

Out of nowhere? Phyllis Schlafly was one of the most successful women of her generation long before she began working against the ERA.

You are right on the mark. As a former Goldwater supporter, who began working for the 1964 campaign, immediately after the Kennedy election in 1960, I can testify to Phyllis Schlafly’s status as the most prominent Conservative woman in America in that time frame.
