...immediate trigger for the feminist fury was the Equal Rights Amendment. Though many psychiatrists flaunted little ERA stickers on their name tags, A.P. A. members had voted last winter to drop the organization's boycott of states that had not ratified the amendment. That meant that next year's meeting would be held in non-ERA New Orleans.
