The slogan "ERAse inequality" puts a pun on the Equal Rights Amendment into the headline, and the text quotes the amendment's core promise: that equality of rights under the law "shall not be denied or abridged... on account of sex." Congress approved the amendment in 1972 and sent it to the states for ratification. By the late 1970s, supporters were campaigning hard as the deadline approached, and the amendment never reached the 38 states it needed. A poster like this one shows how the fight over the amendment was carried out in public print.
