In her speech, Professor Jordan emphasized how the Constitution has

historically discriminated against women. In addition to citing

specific examples of such discrimination, Jordan illustrated how

women entered the Constitution through several mechanisms. These

included the repeal of discriminatory state and federal laws which

implant an Equal Rights Amendment into both state and federal

constitutions. close
