The amendment was first introduced to Congress in 1923, and was finally passed by the House and Senate by 1972. It subsequently needed to be ratified by 38 state legislatures, a number reached in 2020. However, technicalities and opposition arguments have prevented the ERA from being enshrined in the Constitution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;We have to have the ERA. It&#8217;s been ratified, it&#8217;s been a hundred years since it was first introduced to congress.
