Butler provides a fascinating portrait of two of the major adversaries in the 1920s' battle over equal rights legislation for women in the United States?Alice Paul and Ethel M. Smith. While they shared the goal of full political and legal equality for women, they differed on how best to achieve it. Paul, the author of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) and leader of the National Woman's Party, fought to establish that women were the same as men under the law. Smith, legislative secretary of the National Women's Trade Union League and a recognized leader of the opposition to the ERA, believed the ERA did not adequately consider the impact of class and economic differences in women's lives and consequently would sacrifice the interests of one group of women to another. Smith and Paul's conflict is a telling story of the inextricable relationship between personal politics, collective action, and the intersection of law and culture on the social construction of gender. Comparing their perspectives on equality creates a new understanding of the people and issues at stake in the ERA debate. 606 $aEqual rights amendments$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aWomen's rights$zUnited States$xHistory 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1919-1933 615 0$aEqual rights amendments$xHistory. 615 0$aWomen's rights$xHistory. 676 $a323.3/4/097309042 700 $aButler$b Amy E.$f1965-$01647232 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819433803321 996 $aTwo paths to equality$93994682 997 $aUNINA
