Battle Over Equal Rights for Women in US
The piece outlines a polarized fight between the National Woman's party led by Miss Alice Paul and allied groups versus the National League of Women Voters and affiliates. It discusses the proposed federal constitutional amendment and a state blanket bill to guarantee equal rights, the potential impact on welfare and labor laws, and opinions from legal figures about how such changes could affect women workers and existing protections. It notes headquarters at the Old Capitol Watchtower and names key figures like Mrs. Belmont, Carrie Chapman Catt, Maud Wood Park, and Frank P. Walsh.
