Phyllis Schlafly is the lawyer they should have honored. She pulled off one of the biggest political upsets of all time in stopping the ERA. She had a better education than the gals they were honoring and still managed to have six children. So they ignore real accomplished women like Phyllis and brave women like Pamela Geller. The Left is so parochial.
Phyllis Schafly is the true heroine. Married mother of six who got her law degree late in life - I think she was offered admission to Harvard Law before marrying and starting her family, which would have made her the first woman there - and then almost singlehandedly defeated the ERA when Congress and a bunch of states were for it. Brava Phyllis!
But she is against the orthodoxy so TPTB have to ignore her.
