Inhaltsangabe

Conservatives tried to block voting by women, but lost. They also tried to prevent couples from using birth control - and to obstruct Social Security pensions - and to outlaw labor unions - and prevent unemployment compensation - and keep stores closed on the Sabbath - and sustain Prohibition of alcohol - and halt racial integration - and impose government-led prayer in school - and throw gays in prison - and defeat Medicare and Medicaid - and halt the sexual revolution - and block equal human rights laws - and censor sexy magazines, books and movies - and jail girls and doctors who end pregnancies - and ban liquor clubs and lotteries - and revoke the Affordable Care Act - and halt same-sex marriage. But they lost and lost. This book shows how liberals struggled, sometimes for centuries, to overcome conservatives and improve life for humanity.
