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. Kaitlyn and Taylor may have their own views on politics, but they wanted to make sure to honor all women who have entered the political arena. 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. There was a reason she earned the title  “Notorious RBG.” She was a huge inspiration to Kaitlyn and Taylor and, while they are saddened by her passing, they are so honored to bring you an episode chronicling Justice Ginsberg’s long list of accolades and “firsts.”

The duo will also be discussing the importance of National Voter Registration Day and the League's involvement. Don’t forget to register to vote!
