Who Killed the American Family?

by Phyllis Schlafly

First published 2014

The nuclear family once gave America's founders strength to resist tyranny and built a society that thrived on liberty with limited government. Over the past century, multiple forces have waged coordinated warfare against this institution. Feminists, judges, lawmakers, psychologists, school administrators, college professors, and vote-seeking politicians each pursue their own agenda to dismantle traditional marriage and family structures. Their combined assault has succeeded where individual attacks would have failed. As families collapse, government expands to fill roles once handled by parents and spouses. Phyllis Schlafly, the conservative activist who defeated the Equal Rights Amendment in the 1970s, traces how legal changes, court rulings, cultural shifts, educational policies, and entertainment have systematically destroyed what was once sacred. She exposes the tactical methods the Left has deployed and provides both hope and practical strategies for eliminating anti-marriage incentives while restoring cultural respect for family units.
