Scenarios about 'equal rights amendment'
The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) is a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution designed to guarantee equal legal rights regardless of sex. First introduced in Congress in 1923, the ERA passed both houses in 1972 but failed to achieve ratification by the required number of states before its deadline, becoming a central point of contention in American political and social discourse. In alternate history scenarios, the successful ratification of the ERA often serves as a divergence point for exploring different trajectories in gender equality, legal precedent, and American social development.
