Abstract

The article explores the resurgence of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) in the United States, highlighting its potential to address ongoing gender inequalities and the role of social reproduction in modern society. It argues that the ERA, if ratified, could move beyond symbolic significance by integrating lessons from global constitutionalism, particularly the synthesis of gender equality and motherhood protections seen in European constitutions.
