When the equal rights amendment was introduced in Congress in 1972, it quickly garnered the necessary majority in each house and was sent to the states for their consideration. Hawaii ratified the amendment the same day as Congress, and 34 other states quickly followed.

But the ERA was never able to gain the approval of another three states to reach the necessary 38 state majority. In 1980, it died.
