A thread with suggested readings by female scholars & authors shedding light on why the US has been unable to make women's equality the law of the land #ERA It's partly because men don't read/listen to women as much as they should. #womenknowlaw@womenknowlaw@eraprojectcls
My book telling the story of the #ERA's founding mothers who have been ignored & stopped too often and the constitutional law that enabled it. amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS…
Gendered Citizenship about the original conflict over #ERA by historian Rebecca DeWolf @outofthetowerh
Serena Mayeri's brilliant legal history of legal feminism including #ERA struggle & its relationship to fights for constitutioanl race equality amazon.com/Reasoning-Race…
I would definitely talk to some of them (or at least one!) before 'splaining the #ERA's predicament in @nytopinion. If you needed a constitutional theorist/historian rather than an #ERA specialist, there are women whose constitutional knowledge goes beyond #ERA too. @womenknowlaw
