Biographical History
Eliza King Paschall, author and activist, was born October 5, 1917, in Adams Run (Charleston County), South Carolina. During World War II, Paschall served with the American Red Cross Clubmobile, mobile units of volunteers providing refreshments and recreation to Allied soldiers across Europe. She married Walter Goode Paschall (1910-1959), a prominent Atlanta journalist, in 1945. She was active in civic, interracial, and women's organizations in which she held several offices including executive director of the Greater Atlanta Council on Human Relations (1961-1967), president of the Georgia League of Women Voters (1955-1957), and national secretary of the National Organization of Women. Paschall was also a compliance officer on the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (1966-1984) and author of It Must Have Rained (1974), which concerned civil rights in Atlanta, Georgia. In the 1970s Paschall was involved in feminist organizations like the Georgia Commission on the Status of Women and International Women's year, and wrote the employment handbook Because of Sex: A Handbook on Sex Discrimination in Employment. In the late 1970s, Paschall collaborated with Phyllis Schlafly and other family values activists to oppose the Equal Rights Amendment and was instrumental in its failure to gain ratification by the 1982 deadline. In 1984 Paschall took a position in the Ronald Reagan Administration as Associate Director of Public Liaison, retiring in 1985. Paschall died February 3, 1990 in Southport, England.
