What is the ERA and who tried to stop it from passing

History
1 answer:
djyliett [7]3 years ago
5 0
The ERA is the Equal Rights Amendment, established to guarantee equal rights for women, especially when it came to wage differences between those of the opposite sex. The amendment seemed to fly smoothly until Phyllis Schlafly mobilized conservative women in opposition toward the act. She argued that the act would "disadvantage housewives", but there seemed to be more women for the act, than there were opposing it.

Which war led to the ratification of women’s voting rights, as it was the time women were significantly involved in the war effo
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

World War 1.

- Women worked in factories, business jobs, rallied support, addressed famine problems, and did more for the war effort after men had to leave their jobs for war. Since their posts became empty- but still needed filling- women worked instead. They didn't just work, they worked diligently and with skill. They built aircrafts, sewed uniforms, and did much more than anyone ever expected. President Wilson said "the services of women during this supreme crisis of the world's history have been of the most signal usefulness and distinction. The war could not have been fought without them or its sacrifices endured. It is high time that some part of our debt of gratitude to them should be acknowledged and paid, and the only acknowledgment they ask is their admission to the suffrage.
