ERA, that crazy notion of women’s equality,
is officially 100 years old
Raleigh — Alice Paul and Crystal Eastman wrote the Equal Rights Amendment a century ago: “Equal rights, under the law, shall not be denied or abridged, by the United States or by any State on account of sex.”
The requisite 38 states have ratified the ERA but you will not find North Carolina on that list.
Yet.
Today, on International Women’s Day, Rep. Julie von Haefen and Sen. Natalie Murdock held a press conference announcing two new bills that will put North Carolina firmly on record as supporters of equal rights under the law for all its citizens.
