Gloria Steinem, Lee De Cesare: 1970's fight for the failed ERA. We worked out hearts out, and we failed to get the Equal Rights Amendment for Women.

The first time you try for something does not always end in victory. This ERA experience taught me that you don't always succeed on the first, the second, or even the third go. Every failure means you start over again. You don't give up. You never give up. Revolution is forged one grain of sand at a time chipped off the rock of prejudice. If we don't succeed, our successors will. Somehow, somewhere, justice will triumph. lee
