Abstract

KAREN KEDROWSKI explores the Equal Rights Amendment in Iowa, beginning in the wake of the Nineteenth Amendment’s passage and continuing through the ratification of Iowa’s Equal Rights Amendment in 1998. In the first history of the ERA in Iowa, she considers the national- and state-level actors and issues that supported, challenged, and ultimately passed an ERA in the Iowa Constitution.
