Abstract
The equal rights amendment, better known as the ERA, is an amendment requiring that both sexes be treated equally under the law. It has been a matter of heated debate and battle for the last 83 years. The ERA was first introduced to Congress in 1923; three years after the 19th amendment had passed. It was written by Alice Paul, the same activist who had gotten the 19th amendment passed. This was her next project, and would continue to be the National Women's Party's primary goal for the rest of her lifespan.
