As we all know Phyllis Schlafly was elected to congress in 1970 representing the State of Illinois, where she would serve until 1980 when she was selected by Ronald Reagan as his VP pick becoming the first woman to be nominated on a Presidential ticket. After serving two terms under Reagan she herself was elected the Nation's First Female President in 1988 and then reelected in 1992. It has been claimed that her time in the white house cemented suburban Middle Class women as a key Conservative Republican block. Could she have had such an impact if she had not been elected to congress in 1970?
