The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) was a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution designed to guarantee equal rights for women.The ERA was originally written by Alice Paul and Crystal Eastman. In 1923, it was introduced in the Congress for the first time.hat was the last time that the ERA received a floor vote in the Congress. At the start of the 112th Congress on January 6, 2011, Senator Menendez, along with Representatives Maloney, Jerrold Nadler and Gwen Moore, held a press conference advocating for the Equal Rights Amendment's adoption.
Alice Paul rewrote the ERA in 1943 to what is now called the Alice Paul Amendment, reflecting the 15th and the 19th Amendments: Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex..ike the 19th Amendment before it, the ERA barreled out of Congress, getting 22 of the necessary 38 state ratifications in the first year. But the pace slowed as opposition began to organize â only eight ratifications in 1973, three in 1974, one in 1975, and none in 1976.
