After 90 Years, ERA Yet to Follow Women’s Suffrage

On Aug. 12, The New York Times published an op-ed by columnist Gail Collins. In “My Favorite August,” Collins celebrates U.S. women securing the right to vote 90 years ago this month. When Collins daydreams about time travel and the lack of surprise Susan B. Anthony might express upon learning “how well American women are doing in the 21st century,” she neglects to mention how far we still have to go. Collins fails to educate readers, for instance, that the Equal Rights Amendment, despite a similarly protracted struggle, has yet to pass.
