Why was Phyllis Schlafly an important figure in the battle to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA)? She headed the organization that wrote the ERA. She was a prominent female opponent of the ERA. She was the governor of the first state to ratify the ERA. She wrote a book detailing the economic costs of gender discrimination.

Phyllis Schlaf is a conservative activist best known for her opposition to the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment during the 1970s. and she ran unsuccessfully for Congress. But Schlafly's 1972 article "What's Wrong with 'Equal Rights' for Women" launched her campaign against the Equal Rights Amendment. She argued that the ERA would force women into the military, jeopardize benefits under Social Security, and weaken existing legal protections under divorce and marriage laws
