Would Palin have sided with the liberal feminists and advocates of women’s rights or would she have sided with the conservatives who were saying that women should be home raising their children? Would she have been a champion of women's rights, thereby aligning herself with liberals? Based on what we know of her political viewpoint and political orientation, which side would she have supported?

Phyllis Schlafly was the leading Republican spokeswoman on women’s rights issues in the 1970s. Her viewpoints were extremely conservative and she stated that, “What I am defending is the real rights of women. A woman should have the right to be in the home as a wife and mother.” She vigorously opposed the Equal Rights Amendment. She was criticized by women’s rights advocates for being hypocritical in her views about women belonging at home while she herself pursued a very visible career.
