Description

This debate-which ranges from the Declaration of Independence to the Equal Rights Amendment, from abortion to pay scales-occasionally crosses the line between hard-fought and ferocious, but put on your flak helmet and come along. Mrs. Pilpel, quoting a female Member of Congress: " 'It is tragic to have male representatives making decisions about women's minds, women's bodies, women's work, and women's status as citizens.' "... Ms. Freeman: "Many women are only allowed to have their pride through their husband's achievements.... A woman may not be a full person first, a mother second, and a wife third." ... Mr. Sobran: "Isn't it accurate to say that the feminist movement, as we currently know it, is really the Ladies' Auxiliary of Liberalism?" Ms. Fox: "We are not the auxiliary. We are in the forefront of the energy of liberalism in this country today."
