Named one of the most influential women of the 20th Century, Phyllis Schlafly offered a unique and powerful female voice to a wide range of topics within American politics. Schlafly's writings touch on social and political controversies from the roller coaster that is Obamacare, to the pros and cons of common core education, and to the significance of family. This is a collection of the very best of Phyllis Schlafly from 2015.
Phyllis Schlafly became a national
leader of the conservative movement with the publication of her best-selling
1964 book, "A Choice Not an Echo."
She became a leader of the pro-family movement in 1972, when she started her
national volunteer organization, now called Eagle Forum. Her monthly newsletter
was The Phyllis Schlafly Report, and her weekly commentary was heard on 40
radio stations.
She was the author of 16 books on subjects as varied as family and feminism
("The Power of the Positive Woman"), nuclear strategy ("Strike
From Space" and "Kissinger on the Couch"), education
("Child Abuse in the Classroom") and childcare ("Who Will Rock
the Cradle?"). Her most recent book, "First Reader," is a system
to enable every parent to teach his or her child to read.
Schlafly was a lawyer who was appointed by President Ronald Reagan to serve as
a member of the Commission on the Bicentennial of the U.S. Constitution
1985-1991. She testified before more than 50 congressional and state
legislative committees on constitutional, national defense and family issues.
She was a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Washington University, received her J.D.
from Washington University Law School and her master's in political science
from Harvard University.
Ladies' Home Journal named her one of the 100 most important women of the 20th
