Starting in 1848, the Equal Rights Amendment has been an ongoing struggle with each new victory bringing new need for equality. In 1848 Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott gathered around 300 men and women at the Seneca Falls convention to protest for women's rights. The official Equal Rights Amendment was introduced in 1923 and did not pass through each Congress until 1972. In 1982, not enough states had been ratified and it was re-introduced. Since 1994, it was been introduced into every Congress and has been accepted.
