The book explores the evolving positions of the Republican and Democratic parties on women's rights over the last fifty years, revealing a significant shift from the 1950s, when Republicans were more favorable, to the sharp polarization of the early 1980s. It examines party platforms, presidential actions, and congressional behavior to analyze how public debate and policy on issues like the Equal Rights Amendment and abortion rights have been influenced by party dynamics. Wolbrecht aims to explain the underlying factors behind this realignment.
