action

Mrs. America tells the horrific story of the movement to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment . This is a proposed amendment to the constitution that should give women equal rights in the United States. The ERA states: "Men and women should have equal rights in the United States and wherever US law applies." Until the 1970s, the ERA was rejected in both the Senate and the House of Representatives . In March 1972, both chambers of Congress approved the addition. The ratification by at least three quarters of the states, at the time 38, was still pending. March 22, 1979 was set as the original ratification deadline. It was generally believed that this date was easy to meet, but the conservative politician Phyllis Schlafly opposed it. In 1972 she founded the "STOP ERA" movement, which later became the Eagle Forum (and an associated think tank in St. Louis), a conservative "pro-family" organization of which she was president until her death. By 1977, 35 of the required 38 states had ratified the amendment. The ratification period was extended to June 30, 1982, but no other state approved the ERA. Thus the ERA in 1982 failed. The series tells through the eyes of women of that era - both Schlafly and second wave feminists Gloria Steinem , Betty Friedan , Shirley Chisholm , Bella Abzug and Jill Ruckelshaus - how one of the toughest battlefields in the culture wars of the 1970s helped create one create a moral majority and change the US political landscape forever.
