An Amendment Resurrected

The ERA is back with a vengeance. That's thanks to legislators who made it their mission to reignite the fight in state legislatures and activists who spread the word. This week, Kate talks with the woman who got things started in Nevada, Senator Pat Spearman. She also speaks with actor Alyssa Milano and LGBTQ activist Charlotte Clymer about the ERA, #MeToo, and the modern resurgence of the women’s movement more broadly.
