"This book makes a number of important contributions to existing
work on the rise of the Right, twentieth-century American politics,
and the place of moral issues in the modern American conservative
movement."--Paula Baker, author of "The Moral Frameworks of Public
Life: Gender, Politics, and the State in Rural New York,
1870-1930,"
"Richly researched and elegantly written, this gem of a book
makes important contributions to the growing literature on the
origins and surprising successes of modern conservatism.
Underscoring the important role women have played on the Right,
this political biography illuminates the relationship between civil
society activism and intellectual direction, the importance of
anticommunist legacies, and the crucial role played by the heady
combination of religion and values in reshaping the polity."--Ira
Katznelson, Columbia University, author of "When Affirmative Action
Was White"
"In this timely and wonderfully researched book, Critchlow has
provided us an invaluable guide to the grassroots politics basic to
conservatives' rocky ascendancy over the last half century. The
focus on Schlafly and the role of women conservatives make it
essential reading for those interested in women's political
activism and the making of Republican Right."--Jane Sherron De
Hart, University of California at Santa Barbara
"Anyone seeking to understand the historical roots of our
current culture wars should read this illuminating book. Donald T.
Critchlow has written a first-rate biography of a talented
political activist---and made an impressive contribution to the
historiography of American conservatism."--George Nash, author of
"The Conservative Intellectual Movement inAmerica Since 1945"
"Conservatives will cheer and liberals weep at this careful,
thoughtful, and sympathetic portrait of Phyllis Schlafly. Donald
Critchlow's uses his compelling biography to tell an even larger
story--the triumph of the American Right in the last third of the
twentieth century."--James A Morone, author of "Hellfire Nation:
The Politics of Sin in American History" and "The Democratic
Wish"
"Phyllis Schlafly is the most consequential woman in American
politics since Susan B. Anthony, and as such a full-scale biography
is long overdue. Donald Critchlow delivers a thoroughly fair and
dispassionate account of this chief scourge of feminism, who
ironically proved just how powerful a woman can be in modern
America."--Steven F. Hayward, author of "The Age of Reagan: The
Fall of the Old Liberal Order, 1964-1980"
