Why Women Are Still Fighting for Equal Rights 100 Years After Suffrage, and Why Winston Has A Leadership Role

To cap off its celebration of the 100th anniversary of Women’s Suffrage, Winston & Strawn hosted a program on August 18 about the continued fight for the Equal Rights Amendment. The event featured firm Chairman Tom Fitzgerald and Linda Coberly, Chicago office Managing Partner and Chair of the ERA Coalition’s Legal Task Force. Tom highlighted how and why Winston became involved in the effort to ratify the ERA, and Linda answered recurring questions about the legal implications of the ratification effort, including why ratifying the ERA is still important and necessary, what the ERA would (and would not) accomplish, and why it is not too late.
