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.
