Preferred term

Phyllis Schlafly  

Definition

  • Phyllis Schlafly (née Stewart) became a household name in the 1970s for her crusade against the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). The mother of six who stood up for women's “right” to domestic fulfillment eschewed the kitchen for a 50-year public career building grassroots conservatism by simplifying its ideologies into populist terms.
