Arizona NOW was organized following Congress' passage
of the Equal Rights Amendment in 1972. Women in Arizona
were prepared to be in the vanguard for equal rights.
With their ERA van, NOW women traveled the state, creating
NOW chapters in Tucson, Phoenix, Kingman, Havasu City,
the White Mountains, Tempe, Bisbee, Benson, Scottsdale,
and Sun City.
