The Mobilization of Right-Wing American Women
The Mobilization of Right-Wing American Women

Summary/Abstract: "Although the feminist movement in the 1920s in America ultimately led to women being granted the right to vote, it was not until the late 1960s that women began to be integrated into the mainstream of political life. Yet, if one of the achievements of the feminist movement was the increase of female participation in politics, this very success created a counter-force of women opposed to core feminist goals and values. In the late 1970s thousands of conservative women, including Phyllis Schlafly, Anita Bryant, Judie Brown, Beverly LaHaye and Connie Marshner, joined the “New Right” with a view to restore moral absolutes."
