Written in 1921 bu suffragist Alice Paul, the Equal Rights Amendment was introduced into every session of Congress between 1923 and 1972, when it was sent to the states but failed to achieve the necessary three-fourths ratification. What are the pros and cons of the ERA, and could it become ratified? A distinguished panel explores the proposed amendment and its implications in today's world. Presented in Partnership with the Sewall-Belmont House.
