In this episode of the Religious Feminism interview series, Marjorie Spruill, author of Divided We Stand: The Battle Over Women’s Rights and Family Values That Polarized American Politics tells us about two American women’s movements in the 1970s that shaped American politics today: 2nd wave feminism and the rise of the religious right; the part that Mormons, Catholics, Evangelical Christians and other religious groups played in the clash; and how this moment in history explains much of the polarization of American politics today.
