LISTEN: The Ghost of Alice Paul
By 1972, the Equal Rights Amendment had passed both the House and the Senate, but it didn’t receive the required ratifications from three quarters of the states within the time limit imposed by Congress. Earlier this year — nearly five decades later — Virginia became the 38th state to ratify the ERA. This podcast episode looks into the history of the ERA and Alice Paul — a woman celebrated for her role as the author of the amendment who was also, as host Kate Kelly explains, a complicated woman.
