There are 27 amendments to the U.S. Constitution. Several others have been proposed, but never made it in. And only one of those proposed amendments reached the final state for ratification in 2020: the Equals Rights Amendment, or the ERA. There has been recent news coverage of the ERA, but nothing has explored its history and impact in-depth. So, Kaitlyn created a website with multiple stories looking into the history of the ERA, the support for it now, its legal challenges and implications, and the racist consequences of the women’s rights movement’s continued prioritization of its passage.
