Ordinary Equality by Kate Kelly
We're living through modern constitutional history in the making, and Ordinary Equality helps teach the past, present, and future of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) through the lives of the bold, fearless women and queer people.2022 GOLD Winner for Women's Studies, Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards

Ordinary Equality digs into the fascinating and little-known history of the ERA and the lives of the incredible--and often overlooked--women and queer people who have helped shape the U.S. Constitution for more than 200 years. Based on author Kate Kelly's acclaimed podcast of the same name, Ordinary Equality recounts a story centuries in the making. From before the Constitution was even drafted to the modern day, she examines how and why constitutional equality for women and Americans of all marginalized genders has been systematically undermined for the past 100-plus years, and then calls us all to join the current movement to put it back on the table and get it across the finish line.
Kate Kelly provides a much-needed fresh perspective on the ERA for feminists of all ages, and this engaging, illustrated look at history, law, and activism is sure to inspire many to continue the fight.
