| Summary, etc.: | "We are all living through modern constitutional history in the making, and Ordinary Equality helps teach about the past, present, and future of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) through the lives of bold fearless women. Based on author Kate Kelly's acclaimed podcast of the same name, Ordinary Equality recounts a story a century in the making-about how constitutional equality for women and Americans of all marginalized genders has been systematically undermined for the past 100-plus years, and the current movement to put it back on the table and get it across the finish line"-- Provided by publisher. |
