1938 Amendment Anti Argument Attorney Committee Dorothy Equal Rights February Judiciary Paper Senate Washington Opponent Straus
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we see Dorothy Straus, a New York attorney, seated at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the proposed Equal Rights Amendment. The year is 1938, and the nation is embroiled in an intense debate over equal rights for all Americans. With her poised demeanor and fashionable hat adorning her head, Straus stands as a formidable opponent to the amendment. As an anti-equal rights advocate, Straus passionately argues against granting equal rights to women. Her presence in this historic moment showcases the early resistance faced by those fighting for gender equality. In Washington D. C. , surrounded by stacks of papers that symbolize both legal arguments and societal expectations, she represents a voice challenging progress. The interior setting of the committee room adds gravitas to this powerful image. It serves as a reminder that important decisions about civil liberties are made within these walls. This photograph captures not only one woman's opposition but also reflects broader sentiments prevalent during that era. Preserved through time by The Granger Collection's art print service, this image allows us to glimpse into our past struggles towards achieving true equality for all citizens. It reminds us of how far we have come while acknowledging there is still work to be done in ensuring equal rights for every individual regardless of gender or background.
