There was a blurb that said it didn't pass in Congress. Sorry, I don't know when ERA was even voted on.

I agree with this: "Female voters are no more progressive than male voters".

PS Here's the blurb from the Internet - don't know how accurate it is:

It did NOT pass... and, FYI, black men got the right to vote before women. We have only been "allowed" to vote since 1920. Part of the reason women, on average, earn 30% LESS than men is because this did not pass.

EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT

Section 1. Equality of Rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of sex.

Section 2. The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

Section 3. This amendment shall take effect two years after the date of ratification.

The Equal Rights Amendment was written in 1921 by suffragist Alice Paul. It has been introduced in Congress every session since 1923. It passed Congress in the above form in 1972, but was not ratified by the necessary thirty-eight states by the July 1982 deadline. It was ratified by thirty-five states.
