Overview

The Equal Rights Amendment, which would have guaranteed women the same legal rights as men, passed Congress with an overwhelming majority in 1972. During the following ten years, the public repeatedly endorsed it in opinion surveys. The era was never able to muster concrete support in enough states to become the law of the land. In this book it is being explained why.
