'''In 1970, Gloria Steinem testified, giving support to the Equal Rights Amendment when the United States Senate held a hearing for it. Previous to this in 1969 she published an article titled “After Black Power, Women’s Liberation”.''' Steinem refers to the idea of sex and race as being easy ways to organize people into inferior and superior beings due to the prominent characteristics and traits that are easy to point out. She also claims that the only roles in society seem to be for those who are chosen or for those who earned them. Not only did the speech address the issues of sexism and misogyny, but also those of racism and social class.
