Is the ERA just a relic from a by-gone era, or is it the key missing piece to gender equality? Would it make any meaningful difference -- and would we like the difference it would make? Join Sara Collina from Georgetown University’s Women’s and Gender Studies Program to learn about the Supreme Court's approach to sex discrimination in all its forms-- and specifically how the failure of the ERA has shaped a generation of women.
