DESCRIPTION:To mark International Women's Day and Women's History Month, Ranger Susan 
 Philpott \nof the Belmont-Paul Women's Equality National Monument will 
 explore the evolution of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA)--and the concept 
 of equality--over the past century.\n\nMarch 4, 2021 @ 9 AM PT (noon 
 ET)\n\nJoin us in Zoom: https://zoom.us/j/97254822130#success\n\nOr Dial 
 In: 301 715 8592; Meeting ID: 972 5482 2130\n\nWomen won an important 
 victory with the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920.  But the vote 
 wasn't the end; it was just the beginning of the ongoing struggle for 
 women's equality. Within a few years, Alice Paul and the National Woman's 
 Party set out to amend the U.S. Constitution again, this time to ensure 
 full equality for women. \n\nThe Equal Rights Amendment, introduced into 
 Congress for the first time in 1923, states that "equality of rights under 
 the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any 
 State on account of sex." The ERA for gender equality is still waiting to 
 become part of the Constitution 98 years later.\n\n\nABOUT:  Belmont-Paul 
 Women's Equality National Monument of National Park 
 Service\n\nhttps://www.facebook.com/WomensEqualityNPS\n\nHome to the 
 National Woman's Party for over 90 years, the Belmont-Paul Women's Equality 
 National Monument was the epicenter of the struggle for women's suffrage 
 and women's rights. From this house in the shadow of the U.S. Capitol and 
 Supreme Court, Alice Paul and the NWP developed innovative strategies and 
 tactics to secure passage of the 19th Amendment and more.  The house is now 
 an official museum and monument with the National Park Service in 
 Washington D.C.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2021/02/27/18840339.php
