It has been said that Phyllis Schlafly's social policies are a response to feminism.
According to feminist Rosalind Pollack Petchesky, “The New Right”, which includes Phyllis Schlafly and her political group the Eagle Forum, “must be understood as a response to feminist ideas and to their strong impact, in the 1970s, on popular consciousness”. During the 1970s, while Schlafly worked against the Equal Rights Amendment and pro-ERA feminists, she formed a definitive stance on women’s rights in direct opposition to feminist views of the time. She continues to hold these views and seeks, with the Eagle Forum’s help, to implement them as social policy today.

Famous quotes containing the words social and/or policies:
“...A shadow now occasionally crossed my simple, sanguine, and life enjoying mind, a notion that I was never really going to accomplish those powerful literary works which would blow a noble trumpet to social generosity and noblesse oblige before the world. What? should I find myself always planning and never achieving ... a richly complicated and yet firmly unified novel?”
—Sarah N. Cleghorn (1876–1959)
“... [Washington] is always an entertaining spectacle. Look at it now. The present President has the name of Roosevelt, marked facial resemblance to Wilson, and no perceptible aversion, to say the least, to many of the policies of Bryan. The New Deal, which at times seems more like a pack of cards thrown helter skelter, some face up, some face down, and then snatched in a free-for-all by the players, than it does like a regular deal, is going on before our interested, if puzzled eyes.”
—Alice Roosevelt Longworth (1884–1980)
