The Hill:

Longtime conservative activist and Eagle Forum founder Phyllis Schlafly died Monday. She was 92.

 

“Today, Phyllis Schlafly passed away in the presence of her family at her home in St. Louis, Missouri,” the Eagle Forum posted in a statement on its website.

 

The group called its founder, who it said spent 70 years in public service, “an indomitable pro-family grassroots advocate and organizer.”

 

“Her focus from her earliest days until her final ones was protecting the family, which she understood as the building block of life. ... From military superiority and defense to immigration and trade; from unborn life to the nuclear family and parenthood, Phyllis Schlafly was a courageous and articulate voice for common sense and traditional values.”

 

Schlafly was a constitutional lawyer, the author of 27 books and a prominent public speaker. Her latest book, from co-authors Ed Martin and Brett Decker, is set to be released on Tuesday. It lays out how GOP nominee Donald Trump is “a surprising conservative choice” for president, the Washington Times reported.
