Schlafly didn’t just galvanize women who’d been historically sidelined in policy debates, she also brought the ideas of limited government into the mainstream of America’s national conversation. Her self-published 1964 manifesto, "A Choice Not an Echo," sold 3 million copies and helped fuel Barry Goldwater’s rise to national prominence, planting the seeds of the Reagan Revolution.
