(FILES): This file photo taken on May 03, 2000 shows Phyllis Schlafly (seated), president of the Eagle Forum, and Rep. Frank Wolf (Rear), R-VA, attending a press conference on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. Phyllis Schlafly, the US conservative icon and grass-roots activist for traditional family roles who led the successful campaign against the Equal Rights Amendment, died on September 5, 2016. She was 92. A deeply polarizing figure for decades, the constitutional lawyer campaigned against communism, abortion rights and, most famously, the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), which died after it was already passed by both houses of Congress in 1972 and ratified by 35 of the required 38 states. / AFP PHOTO / LESLIE E.
