Phyllis
Phyllis is made aware of the potential drafting of young women to fight in Vietnam.
1971. The main focus of ambitious and extremely capable Republican wife and home-maker Mrs Phyllis Schlafly is the on-going nuclear arms talks between Nixon and Brezhnev, until she is made aware of the potential drafting of young women to fight in Vietnam if the highly popular Equal Rights Amendment is passed by the Senate. She is determined to organise the opposition to the ERA for 40 million American housewives who appreciate the status quo.
