Longtime activist, author, and antifeminist leader Phyllis Schlafly is for many the symbol of the conservative movement in America. This book sheds light on her life and on the unappreciated role her grassroots activism played in transforming America's political landscape. "Critchlow's account is an important achievement. Copiously researched and beautifully written, it makes an invaluable contribution to our understanding of recent American political history."---Kenneth Osgood, American Communist History
