Discussion: Senecal Falls Convention vs. Modern ERA
In this unit the Seneca Falls Convention is discussed. The Convention led to the eventual ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920. It was not the only proposed amendment to originate from the Seneca Falls Convention; the Equal Rights Amendment also followed the path of universal suffrage except it was never ratified.
Considering the history of the ERA, found at: https://www.equalrightsamendment.org/era.htm, why do you believe this bill was never ratified and in your opinion why would some of the more noted suffragists actually fight against the ratification of this bill?
