Pro-ERA pamphlet
After 1920, the National Woman's Party (NWP), a former woman suffrage organization, focused on winning women full legal equality. By lobbying for the controversial Equal Rights Amendment, it fought to include women on juries and to give married women control over their property and custody of their children. Beginning in 1923, an Equal Rights Amendment was introduced at every session of Congress until passing in 1972. It remains unratified. |
