Revisiting the STOP ERA Movement—and Its Leader, Phyllis Schlafly—in Photos

About 45 years ago, conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly led a successful campaign to block ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment—a proposed constitutional amendment pledging to guarantee equal legal rights to all Americans, regardless of sex. To this day, in a large part due to STOP ERA's efforts, the amendment has never been ratified.

Now, the conservative movement is once again front of mind thanks to Mrs. America, a new show on FX on Hulu, which explores both sides of the fight for the ERA and closely traces Schlafly's involvement. Inspired by the series, we took a look back at the real Schlafly's infamous STOP ERA campaign—it's up to you to see how the show measures up.
