Phyllis Schlafly was an author, attorney and conservative activist. She wrote and edited 27 books, and was recognized as a prominent leader of the conservative movement in America after the publication of her best-selling book in 1964, A Choice Not an Echo. Phyllis became a leading pro-family advocate with the founding of her national volunteer organization, Eagle Forum, in 1972. Her relentless efforts for more than ten years helped defeat the Equal Rights Amendment, which was a major victory over the radical feminist movement of the 1960s and 70s. Phyllis was appointed by President Ronald Reagan to serve on the Commission on the Bicentennial of the U.S. Constitution from 1985-1991. She testified before numerous congressional and state legislative committees on constitutional, national defense and family issues. She received her J.D. from Washington University Law School and her master’s degree in political science from Harvard University. Phyllis passed away in 2016 and is survived by her six grown children.
