Embarrassed to say I dont know this person. Will have to do some reading.
I’m 48, but if she was an icon, I can’t believe I didn’t hear about or read about her before. That sucks.
Maybe i’ve seen her face posted on here. Not sure.
Phyllis single-handedly defeated the odious Equal Rights Amendment, also known as the female supremacist’s wet dream.

Let’s just say Schafly was a conservative icon that in the later years was not given the respect due her. She was a true patriot and a fighter for the cause of conservatism. The RINO crowd dissed her . . .so that may give you an indication of how great she was.
If I recall she was on Focus On the Family quite a bit. (Or her program came on near the same time in my area)
Read her book “A Choice Not an Echo.” the book was published at the same time that Ronald Reagan was thinking about running for governor in California. Phyllis Schafly can be considered to be the founder of the modern conservative movement.
She had been less prominent in the news in the last 15 years.
I once wrote Phyllis in the 90s about some school foolishness that was in effect propaganda that had filtered down to our school system from NEA types. I received a hand written reply from PS!
She was a clear, deep thinker and an inspiration!
