Om denne bog

The fascinating true story of the characters in Hulu''s "Mrs. America" and a broader portrait of the two women''s movements that spurred an enduring rift between liberals and conservatives.

"The many admirers of ''Mrs. America'' . . . will find great satisfaction in [Divided We Stand] . . . a clear, compelling and deeply insightful volume." The Washington Post

One of Smithsonian Magazine’s Ten Best History Books of the Year

In the early 1970s, an ascendant women’s rights movement enjoyed strong support from both political parties and considerable success, but was soon challenged by a conservative women’s movement formed in opposition. Tensions between the two would explode in 1977 at the congressionally funded National Women’s Conference in Houston, Texas. As Bella Abzug, Gloria Steinem, and other feminists endorsed hot-button issues such as abortion rights, the ERA, and gay rights, Phyllis Schlafly and Lottie Beth Hobbs rallied with conservative women to protest federally funded feminism and launch a pro-family movement.

Divided We Stand reveals how crucial women and women’s issues have been in the shaping of today’s political culture. After the National Women’s Conference, Democrats continued to back women’s rights in cooperation with a more diverse feminist movement while the GOP abandoned its previous support for women’s rights and defined itself as the party of family values, irrevocably affecting the course of American politics.
