Johnson has taken her struiilgle against the ^1-ERA forces ruling her church to the pollticd arena and even into the Streets. At the 1960 Democreilc National Convention, she spoke In favor of a ntinorfty plank to withhold party assistance form candldatee wfio did not support ERA. Her confrontations with the Republican Party have Included chaining herself along with twelve other religious women leaders to the porch of the Republican National Committee Headquarters In Washington. Concerning such efforts to bkjck traffic and climb White House gates, Johnson says, “If women don't soon begin to think we're worthy of the many and immense personal sacrlficee it's going to take to get our dWI rigMs, we are simply not going to justice In our lifetime.” Currently Johneon heads the national network of Mormons for ERA and combines putHIc appearances to publidze equal rights with a single-parent family life in suburban Virginia. She has sold the option to her story and autobk)grB^y to Nottnan tear, who plans to make a feature film in conjunction virith Twentieth Century fox. As Johnson sees her role: “I am a warrior In the time of women wanriors; the longing for justice Is the sword I carry, the love of womankind my shield.'’ UP TO 4 STUDENTS PERMITTED PER APARTMENT KEEPS YOUR MONTHLY RENT PER PERSON REASONABLE!
