The first U.S. conference on Women's rights and suffrage was held in 1848. When the Fifteenth Amendment was passed in 1870 granting freed men the right to vote, women were told that it would make it easier for women to get the right to vote. It was half a century - 50 long years before women were granted the right to vote on Aug. 20, 1920. Ratify ERA Now!
| • By past precedent (an unrelated 203 year old amendment was recently ratified) the ERA is still legally held timely (“contemporaneous”) and viable, fair, and just by Congressional Research Service, which researches legal issues and other for Congress. | |
• Bills to ratify the ERA are currently being introduced
