Ordinary Equality

Meer over het boek

From before the Constitution was drafted to the modern day, women and queer people have helped shape the foundations of American democracy. In Ordinary Equality, Kate Kelly explores the past, present, and future of the Equal Rights Amendment through the lives of the incredible and often overlooked key players in its history. Biographies of Abigail Adams, Phillis Wheatley, Alice Paul, Pauli Murray, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Pat Spearman, and more help uncover how and why constitutional equality for all has been systematically undermined for centuries and what we can do to make it a reality. This engaging, illustrated look at history, law, and activism is sure to inspire feminists of all ages to join the fight to finally get absolute equality into the Constitution. Book jacket.
