Equal rights for women in the United States suffered a definite defeat in the 1970s thanks to the campaign of a woman, Phyllis Schlafly. This mother of six children argued that equality of the sexes could harm housewives and end up forcing women to join the army.

Since then, no politician has managed to push through the amendment that would write equal rights in the text of the US Constitution. "In the world of the ultra-conservative Phyllis Schlafly, men are men and women are housewives, even when they work"

Schlafly had found the lever to motivate an entire generation of women - she was nicknamed "the first lady of the silent majority" - against the amendment that would recognize equal rights and ensured that the amendment was never ratified by enough states to enter into force.

D.She helped to defeat the Equal Rights Amendment.
