"March 22, 1872: The Equal Rights Amendment to the US Constitution (ERA), which had been proposed to Congress in 1923, was passed by the Senate and sent to the states for ratification. Twenty-two states ratified the amendment, but it failed to achieve the needed 38 state approvals in the ten years allotted for ratification, receiving only 35 approvals."... really 1872... that early... 1972 perhaps.
