Thursday, November 14, 2024, 11:00am-12:00pm, Abbotsford campus, room A225. Light refreshments provided. Contact historyinfo@ufv.ca.
About the talk: In 1970, Martha W. Griffiths, allied with feminists inside and outside Congress, moved the Equal Rights Amendment to the top of the US political agenda as a way to remove sex discrimination in law. She then maneuvered it through Congress, achieving what had not been done in the half-century since the ERA was first proposed. In this talk, I will explain how Griffiths and her allies made history and why it matters today.
