The Equal Rights Amendment: An Ongoing Struggle – Women’s Rights in the United States Series | A...
The Equal Rights Amendment, or ERA, is a proposed amendment to the U.S. Constitution that guarantees equal rights and opportunities for citizens by making discrimination based on sex illegal. The ERA simply intends to assure equal constitutional rights to United States citizens of all sexes. The most recent proposition of the ERA reads, “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State on account of sex.” The ERA was originally created to further the comprehensive civic status of women after winning the right to vote. To this day, the only right granted to women by federal law is the right to vote.
