In 1978 Smeal headed a successful effort to get Congress to extend the time limit for passage of the Equal Rights Amendment. She has also directed campaigns that prevented ten states that had passed the ERA from rescinding their positions, and is organizing grass-roots efforts in the down-to-the-wire fight to pass the amendment in three more states.
