Phyllis had never forgotten that.”“She wouldn’t have used these words, but she thought a lot of the men in the Republican Party who were supporting [the feminist constitutional Equal Rights Amendment] were just demeaning grassroots women, that they treated them like they didn’t know what they were doing.”“To make her this cowering woman is absurd. “First of all, the mischaracterization of Phyllis Schlafly’s family life and marital relations. Indeed, I found a lot of discussion about reaching out to black churches. The idea that is expressed in the episode that she wanted to marry a divorced Catholic to see if he was eligible was—if you knew the Schlaflys or Eleanor, whom I knew quite well—really laughable. In fact, Phyllis Schlafly actively worked for Richard Nixon in the ’68 campaign and her role in that campaign was trying to persuade voters who might go for Wallace to vote Richard Nixon. I got to know her, I spoke to her just individually. America,” the new six-episode series from FX and Hulu purporting to chronicle the fight over the Equal Rights Amendment.From implications of racism to marriage troubles, the show’s distortions, you’ll notice, are all in the service of creating a more negative version of Schlafly. The race issue in the ’68 campaign, in the Wallace third-party run was important, and Phyllis Schlafly stood on the side of Richard Nixon.”Critchlow: “They did have a black housekeeper that was really part of the family. “Mrs.
