Phyllis Schlafly was born on August 15th, 1924 in St. Louis, Missouri. She was brought up in a conservative home, and attended a Catholic girls’ school. Phyllis entered into college early and received a Master of Arts degree in Government from Radcliffe College in 1945. Later on, in 1978 she obtained a J.D. (Juris Doctor) from Washington University Law School in St. Louis. Schlafly became well known for her views on women’s rights, her opposition of Feminism and the Equal Rights Amendment. She was a strong leader of the pro-family movement, and she believed that women should take on the role as a housewife, and take care of the family. She did not believe that women should be weak and have no power, but that they could achieve power from working at the office, and at home with the family which is most important. Schlafly opposed feminism because she believed that the feminist movement treated women as victims, and taught women that society was unfair to them therefore they couldn’t succeed without total equality. Lastly, Phyllis Schlafly was a strong opponent against the Equal Rights Amendment that would guarantee equal rights under any federal, state, or local law could not be denied on account of sex. Schlafly opposed the amendment because she believed that with the Amendment special privileges enjoyed by the American women would be taken away.
