Answer

# Brief Explanations: The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) was a proposed amendment to the U.S. Constitution to guarantee equal legal rights for all American citizens regardless of sex. Despite significant efforts by the feminist movement, it failed to be ratified by the necessary number of states. Child - care assistance has seen some progress with the establishment of some child - care centers and policies. Employment opportunities for women have expanded with anti - discrimination laws. Reproductive rights have also been advanced through legal decisions like Roe v. Wade (though they are currently under threat). # Answer: C. Equal Rights Amendment
