What always bothered my mom about Phyllis is that she made a career out of doing exactly what she preached women shouldn't do. She certainly wasn't staying at home...she was running around telling everyone that women shouldn't work, while running her organization, running for office, writing books, working the lecture circuit, etc. What a hypocrite.

Looks like her niece is just as much of a self-promoter.

ETA: I should clarify that my mom was fighting the good fight as a 1950s era college graduate...one of only 3 women in the business school at Michigan State, and she had to deal with a lot of blatant male chauvenism. One of her father's brothers actually asked him why they were wasting money sending a daughter to college. It really irked her that Phyllis was running around building her business on the premise that other women should stay at home.
