This is the second part of our epic deep dive into the life of Phyllis Schlafly -- the far-right firebrand who brought down an amendment and arguably helped transform a political party. In Part 2, Moira walks Adrian through Schlafly's attack on the Equal Rights Amendment, and how she pioneered a whole new style of politics to defeat what had been essentially a done deal -- or carried it into the mainstream, at any rate.

Andrea Dworkin, Right Wing Women
Jane J. Mansbridge, How We Lost the ERA
Marjorie J. Spruill, Divided We Stand
Donald T. Critchlow, Phyllis Schlafly and Grassroots Conservatism
