She was a smart lady. Due to her efforts, the ERA was stopped, even though TPTB were all behind it, and everyone said it was impossible to stop.
I recall the press trying to make her look like a loony toony but she was very logical and smart.
During WWII, she worked the night shift for the war effort, got off her shift and went to classes at Washington U. in St. Louis. She got a law degree—and she didn’t need an ERA or help/protection from Uncle Sam to do it.
