Phyllis Schlafly built the modern conservative movement through decades of activism and advocacy. Before her death in 2016, she carefully selected the speeches she believed had the greatest impact throughout her career. She labeled these addresses as her personal favorites, representing the core of her political philosophy and strategic approach. The collection spans her lifetime of conservative organizing, from grassroots campaigns to national political battles. Tributes from Laura Ingraham, Ed Martin, John Schlafly, and Andy Schlafly accompany the speeches, providing context for her influence on contemporary conservatism. This volume captures the rhetorical power that established Schlafly as a conservative icon and demonstrates the speaking style that mobilized millions of Americans around her causes.
