EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a pivotal moment in the history of women's rights. Taken in 1978 at the University of Chicago, it showcases a heated debate on the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) between three prominent figures: Phyllis Schlafly, Betty Wood, and Betty Friedan. On the left side of the image stands Phyllis Schlafly, known for her conservative views and opposition to feminism. Her stern expression reflects her strong convictions against the ERA, which she believed would undermine traditional gender roles. In contrast, Betty Wood stands at the center with an air of determination. As an advocate for equal rights and women's liberation movement (womens lib), she passionately argues for societal change that would grant women more opportunities and freedoms. Betty Friedan completes this powerful trio on the right side of the photo. A leading figure in second-wave feminism, Friedan fought tirelessly for gender equality throughout her life. Her presence exudes confidence as she articulates her vision for a world where women are treated as equals. The composition is enhanced by their placement behind a panel table adorned with microphones—a symbol of their voices being heard amidst this crucial debate. This snapshot from 1978 serves as a reminder of how far we have come in advancing women's rights while acknowledging that there is still work to be done.
