About the second-wave feminist movement in the 1970s, mainly about the most famous feminists in history, Gloria Steinem (Gloria Steinem), Shirley Chisholm (the first black woman elected to Congress), And Betty Friedan, author of The Feminine Mystique. Opposition: Conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly Phyllis Schlafly, who leads anti-affirmative action. There is more creative freedom in the private conversations, and when it comes to events in the public record, it sticks to the facts, often quoting word for word from feminist leaders and their critics. Schlafly's family and supporters were critical of the show. "The show makes us think that women seem to be our own worst enemies, and that keeps us from recognizing who our worst enemies are. I'm not saying women don't have conflict, yes, we have conflict, but in general We don't have the ability to be our own worst enemy." "That's the problem with this ridiculous TV show. I'm sure the actors are all good, it's just the story that's wrong." End credits: Jenny Kirk Patrick became the first female official to be an ambassador to the United Nations, appointed by Reagan, after which she became one of Reagan's general counsels on anti-communist foreign policy, and she supported affirmative action. Phyllis devoted the rest of her career to family values policy, writing books, and running the VOA Society, her last book, published after her death, entitled Conservative Advocacy in the Trump Administration On June 30, 1982, the Equal Rights Amendment was suspended without ratification by three states. The fight over ratification of the era helped reunite Republicans and Democrats along conservative and liberal divides. Leaders of the women's movement continued to fight for gender equality, but their political clout never reached the levels of the early 1970s. In 2017, Nevada ratified ER A. In 2018, Illinois ratified ER A. In 2020, Virginia became the 38th U.S. state to ratify the ERA. The Democratic-controlled House passed a resolution that removed the Republican deadline to approve ERS. The controlling Senate said the measure was unlikely to be adopted.
