Title

Group of some of the speakers before the House Judiciary Sub-Committee at a hearing in Washington D.C. on the proposed Equal Rights Amendment now before congress, 10 March 1946

Description

After the National Woman's Party successfully campaigned for the Nineteenth Amendment, it shifted its attention to the Equal Rights Amendment. While the Party helped push to introduce an ERA bill to congress every year from 1921 to 1976, it was typically blocked by special committees. It only made it to the floor of the senate in 1946 when it was defeated by a 38 to 35 vote. This photo is of a group of NWP members, including Caroline Katzenstein, who spoke before the House Judiciary Committee in 1946.
