EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT


 



The video above features Alice Paul, author of the Equal Rights Amendment.
Ms. Paul, along with many other courageous women, fought to pass the 19th Amendment to the
U.S. Constitution, which prohibits any United States citizen to be denied the right to vote based on sex.
________________________________________
The Equal Rights Amendment was introduced into the U.S. Congress for the first time in 1923.
In 1972, it passed both houses of Congress, but failed to gain ratification before its June 30, 1982 deadline.
Email your U.S. Representatives to support ratification of the ERA in your state.

"Iron Jawed Angels" is an important history lesson told in a fresh, and blazing fashion. Two thumbs up!

"Cautious, careful people, always casting about to preserve their reputation and social standing,
never can bring about a reform. Those who are really in earnest must be willing to be anything
or nothing in the world's estimation, and publicly and privately, in season and out,
avow their sympathy with despised and persecuted ideas
and their advocates, and bear the consequences."

Susan B. Anthony

is an idiot. Woman should gain entree to all galleries of human knowledge,

and present herself as the owner of her freedom and her rights."
