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.
I remember Ann Coulter calling Schlafley a ‘stunningly brilliant woman’. Very fitting words.
