Equal Means Equal: Why the Time for an Equal Rights Amendment Is Now by Gloria Steinem, Jessica Neuwirth

Because of this books (understandable) focus on constitutional law and SCOTUS cases I wish I had read it while taking constitutional law in college and writing my term paper on the ERA. I learned about Gonzales v Castle Rock for the first time in my life, despite going to high school in Castle Rock shortly after the Supreme Court case was litigated, and was incandescent with rage. I still firmly believe that the ERA should be fully ratified, but I wish the author had looked at the limits of constitutional law in establishing and preserving equal rights and dignity (considering the failures of the 13th/14th/15th amendments to fully protect the rights of Black people in America under the law and in the courts).
