1980's Topics 7th Period 1980's Topics 8th Period Phyllis Schlaffy, war against era By Katie Van Winkle

Task One--DESCRIBE YOUR TOPIC ---Due Monday, March 12th  During the eighties conservative christian groups began raising their voices against the equal rights amendment (era). Some of the groups where the Concerned Women for America, founded by Beverly LaHaye, and the Eagle Forum, founded by Phyllis Schlafly. Phyllis Schlafly believed the era would, "take away the marvelous legal rights of a woman to be a full-time wife and mother in the house supported by her husband" Schlafly had the support of conservative republicans, like herself. Schlafly was an influential woman, having been Harvard educated and a two-time congressional candidate.

Schlafly believed that the era would grant too much power to congress and the federal courts and this was the point that they drove into anyone that would listen and their fear mongering. They would preach about how, " women would be drafted into military service or have to perform heavy labors or that the government would be forced to recognize same-sex marriage." None of this happened but the campaigns of the Eagle Forum and other organizations put back the progress of the era for years.

**Task One Rubric **
 * Support the main idea in each paragraph with evidence from a minimum of  3  credible sources,
 * Select only signed sources from the LC databases--each source must have a credible author.
 * Establish the credibility of the author the first time a source is referenced.
 * Credit sources with internal citations and in a Works Cited.
 * Insert the Works Cited listing the three sources after the Third Task.
 * Post the paragraphs to the wiki March 12th. Timely posts of complete assign = 10 points. Task One = 50 points

__Task Two--EVALUATE YOUR TOPICS INFLUENCE--Due March 15th__ <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 19px; text-align: left;">Please write two extended power paragraphs which each cite a minimum of 3 sources: two new ones and any of the three sources used in Task One. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 19px; text-align: left;">** PROMPT: Discuss the scope of influence of your topic on the 1980s. How extensive was the influence? Which part of society was influenced? Did the change endure or stimulate additional changes? What is the topic's legacy? What impact did the topic have in the Twenty-First Century. ** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 17px; text-align: left;"> The Christian family and the women's role in the household was what Schlafly was aiming to protect. "And the I am woman; thou shalt not tolerate strange gods who assert that women have capabilities or often choose roles that are different from men's."(Schlafy) No, the opposition as unpopular among the younger generation and so support was limited and Schlafy's campaign died with her. Schlafy's campaign did indeed defeat the equal right amendment and her grass-root tactics proved very effective."They had all the governors. They had 99% of the media. They had organizations, they had Hollywood stars, movie stars, and they felt I was responsible for not letting them get what they wanted. So they (the feminists) were mad about it"(Schlafy) This campaign of Schalfy and her followers gave anti-feminists enough fuel to defeat the amendment and her anti-gay marriage and pro-life eagle forums still exists today.

<span style="background-color: #00ffff; color: #9008b6; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 20px; text-align: left;">Task Three--JUDGE THE IMPACT OF THE INDIVIDUAL & ASSOCIATIO --Due Mar. 19th <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 18px; text-align: left;">Now that you have a basic understanding of your topic and know the scope of its influence, explain the forces that produced or created the topic. Additionally, identify the driving forces behind the society's reaction to your topic? Use the criteria described in the the **Great Man Continuum** to determine your topics long-run influence on society. Place your topic on the continuum and justify the reasons for your placement. Please confine your analysis to two extended power paragraphs with each one citing a minimum of 3 credible sources. <span style="background-color: #ffff00; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: medium; text-align: left;">Encyclopedic sources are not acceptable for this task. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #800080; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 18px; text-align: left;"> This campaign of Schalfy and her followers gave anti-feminists enough fuel to defeat the amendment. She also started anti-gay marriage and pro-life eagle forums that still exist today. She convinced thousands of women to fight against equal rights through fear and and anger mongering. Christian women of the time period were convinced of the 'evils' of the era and were turned effectively against it. Now Schlafy has died along with her campaign against the era.
