When reading “Virginia Just Became the 38th State to Pass the Equal Rights Amendment.” There was brief history talking about the first woman name Alice Paul was the founder of the national woman’s party. After the national woman’s party was a success she joins the demonstration for the British suffragist movement in Britain during the early 1900s. When reading her history, she has accomplished many goals for woman’s rights and equality. In 1972 the equal right amendment failed, the reason why it failed is because of anti-feminism and the opponent Phyllis Schlafly. Surprisingly, she was a woman who was going to opposed liberal feminism, gay rights, and abortion, and successfully campaigned against the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. This is a common thing that happens, woman can disagree with what woman are fighting for and prefers woman to be in control by the government and people. It’s hard for them to realize that anything women try to fight for and a woman disagrees with them, they’re going to regret their decision in the future. It’s sad to see people who go against their own kind not knowing that they’re just the same. According to the reading, Schlafly stated, “A woman should have the right to be in the home as a wife and mother.” I have been hearing this from the older generation especially, through the parents that a woman’s job should be a house and a mother. Women should reunite together for their amendment for the right to equality.
