Have you seen Mrs. America? If you have, you likely have some knowledge of Phyllis Schlafly. While she may not be the first person to come to mind when you hear feminism, she was, by definition, a feminist.

As such, the duo will be having a candid conversation about Phyllis Schlafly. She was a conservative author. She held conservative social and political views, opposed feminism and abortion, and successfully campaigned against ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
This month, America lost an icon. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg served on the Supreme Court for 27 years.
