Last week, the State of Illinois became a 37th state to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment. The ERA would guarantee women equal rights in the United States Constitution was passed Wednesday that means one more state needs to pass the ERA for it to be included in the US Constitution.
The ERA is a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution designed to guarantee equal legal rights for all American citizens regardless of sex; it seeks to end the legal distinctions between men and women in terms of a divorce, property, employment, and other matters.
