Exchange of letters between Mrs. Hugh Stout and Senator Clifford P. Hansen, December 1975

Stout, from Thermopolis, Wyoming, writes to Hansen saying that she and other concerned women from Thermopolis feel the Equal Rights Amendment is harmful to women's legal rights and moral obligations. Hansen replies explaining that, despite his vote against it, the ERA passed in Congress in 1972 and that the ratification process is now in the hands of the states.
