1984 Sonia Johnson for President Citizen’s Party Pamphlet.
On August 11, 1984, the New York Times reported- “Sonia Johnson, a Virginia feminist who was excommunicated from the Mormon Church after she supported the proposed Federal equal rights amendment in the 1970's, was nominated today as the Presidential candidate of the Citizens Party. Mrs. Johnson, who once chained herself to the White House fence in an equal rights protest, has been campaigning for the Presidency under the party's auspices since the start of the year. Last month she became the first third-party candidate in the current campaign to get matching funds from the Federal Election Commission”.
Johnson remained an outspoken activist; in her 1991 book, The Ship that Sailed Into the Living Room, she wrote that both opposite-sex and same-sex couple relationships “are a dangerous patriarchal trap…two is the ideal number for inequality, for sadism, for the reproduction of patriarchy”. Her 2010 book, The SisterWitch Conspiracy”, imagines a world without men- "as long as men were on the planet, neither peace nor justice would ever be possible”.
Three-fold Pamphlet. 3.75”x8.5”. Minor soil.
