UNC Davis Library Stacks Floor 5 HQ 1101 .S5
Two political scientists examine characteristics of ERA activists in North
Carolina. They looked at “political activity, political attitudes,
personality characteristics, socioeconomic status (SES), religion, social
cross-pressures, geography, and parental influences” of ERA and anti-ERA activists.
They concluded that ERA activists in North Carolina were similar to party
elites, while anti-ERA activists were dissimilar to party elites.

responses to ERA, political ideology of opponents and proponents, a case
study of coalition politics, and an examination of the influence of campaign
contributions on ERA ratification in Illinois.
