The Hulu mini series, “Mrs. America” depicts the work of Phyllis Schlafly to stand against the women’s movement and its push to pass the Equal Right Amendment (ERA). 

The series perfectly captures Schlafly’s hair style and clothing choices but fails to accurately depict the conservative matriarch’s kindness and strength as she rallied wives and mothers across American in the fight against the ERA. 

Today on Problematic Women we welcome Anne Schlafly Cori, Phyllis Schlafly daughter, to the show to find out the true story behind the ERA fight, who Phyllis Schlafly really was, and what the Hulu series got right and what it did not. 

We also talk with Kirsten Hasler, Executive Director of Eagle Forum’s D.C. office, about carrying on Schlafly’s legacy. And as always we will be crowning our Problematic Woman of the week. 

Enjoy this special live podcast recording and Q&A; webinar with Anne Schlafly Cori hosted by The Leadership Institute.
