The Equal Rights Amendment: Then and Now
First proposed in 1923 – yes, nearly one hundred years ago - the Equal Rights Amendment was finally passed by the US Congress nearly 50 years later, in 1972, with a seven-year deadline for its ratification. With the deadline approaching, but the requisite 38 states not having voted to ratify, Congress approved, and President Carter signed, a three-year extension, to 1982. Several states and the US Congress are now revisiting the ERA, raising a variety of issues.
