I particularly like your delivery style; you let the facts speak for themselves, you don’t major on your own emotional responses (indignation) about what these women did.
Even in the title, The Power of a Christian Woman, there rests a subtle (?) suggestion that one cannot be a Christian and also support (some or all of) the feminist causes. It's an early sorting of us vs. them.
I very much appreciate your attention to the nuances and seeing how this could have gone at various junctures. Interesting series.
I noted in reading Donald Critchlow’s biography of Schlafly that she had paid help in her home, which of course facilitated her doing all the things she did.
You are doing good work, Rachel.

Thanks Barbara!

That definitely fits. So many "housewives" in the 60s and 70s did!!
