19th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified in 1920. That gave women the right to vote but, men still didn't want to believe that women were equal to them. Only three years later, in 1923, is when the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) was first introduced to Congress. It states that, "Men and women shall have equal right throughout the United States and every place subject to its jurisdiction."
