“Equal Rights Amendment.” Equality Archive, Equality Archive, 23 May 2018, https://equalityarchive.com/history/equal-rights-amendment/#more-233.
The Equal Rights Amendment simply states that equality of rights shall not be changed based on sex. However, this amendment has not been passed by Congress. The failure to pass this amendment shows the sexism still present in the United States. We have seen censorship from feminist writing and attempts to rewrite history. For example, calling slaves brought to the United States “workers”. Certain states still have restrictive laws against women, and these are the same states limiting education. Men, who make up the large majority of Congress, are attempting to take away women’s rights to their own body. The ERA can prevent this and allow women to have equal rights to their body. We need to continue the spread of information that effectively communicates the lack of rights for women in the United States.
