WINGS
WINGS: Women's International News Gathering Service is an all-woman independent radio production company that produces and distributes news and current affairs programs by and about women around the world.
This program provides an audio documentary about the successful fight for a Constitutional Amendment enshrining US women’s right to vote and the still-pending struggle for an Equal Rights Amendment to the US Constitution. It includes stories about Alice Paul (January 11, 1885 – July 9, 1977), whose work for women bridged both causes.
The program’s host is Nahanni Rous and featured Speakers/Guests are: Jennifer Krafchik, Deputy Director of the museum in the Belmont-Paul Womens Equality National Monument in Washington, DC; Nevada State Senator Pat Spearman (in March 2017, Nevada voted to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment– 95 years after it was first introduced to Congress); Nevada State Senator Joe Hardy (ERA opponent); vox pops from the National Mall in Washington DC; Bettina Hager, Director of the Equal Rights Amendment Coalition; Eleanor Smeal, President of the Feminist Majority Foundation and former President of the US National Organization for Women (NOW); Phyllis Schlafly, ERA opponent and founder of Eagle Forum; the late US Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia; and the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
