In the mid-twentieth century, a grassroots movement of women sought to shape the ideologies of the baby boomer youth. Foremothers of twenty-first century activists such as Sarah Palin and Ann Coulter, these rightist women deeply influenced the path of U.S. politics after World War II. In Challenge and Change, June Benowitz draws on activists? letters to presidents, editors, and one another, allowing these women to speak for themselves. Benowitz examines the issues that stirred them to action?education, health, desegregation, moral corruption, war, patriotism, and the Equal Rights Amendment?and explores the growth of the right-wing women?s movement.
