Women's Forum of North Carolina

In the press release dated October 13, 1976, a group of fifteen women leaders committed to the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) from North Carolina announced plans to organize the Women’s Forum of North Carolina. While that early release was not considered particularly newsworthy by North Carolina newspapers, now, many years later, the Women’s Forum letterhead commands considerable attention and respect among members of the media, legislators, corporate executives, and community leaders all across the state of North Carolina.
