In this excerpt from my interview with Pulitzer prize-winning journalist, Beverly Weintraub, about her book Wings of Gold, we talk about how Rosemary Mariner took on not only men who wanted to restrict women’s roles in the military, but also the very vocal and influential anti-feminism activists Phyllis Schlafly and Elain Donnelly.
