Rep. Elizabeth Holtzman, also of New York, stressed the importance of building coalitions, saying “if it hadn’t been for the congresswomen working together, we never would have passed the ERA ratification ex tension.” She said, “Women working to gether in coalition can achieve mira cles.” The consequences go beyond the ability of women to hold power, she said. “There are vast issues that re main to be addressed,” including justice under the law for women and equal pay for equal jobs. The women — state and local elected officials and party leaders — were advised repeatedly to align themselves with a candidate as soon as possible, particularly in primary states. Under current party rules, they were told, candidates for dele gate positions had a slim chance of being chosen if they ran uncommit ted. But, Rep. Patricia Schroeder of Colorado said she would “use my prerogative as a women and say ‘court me.” She cautioned against supporting a candidate on the basis of promises alone and advised the women to ask what specific steps the candidates’ planned to take to help obtain ratifi cation of the Equal Rights Amend ment. Schroeder also advised the women to begin immediately form ing networks so they wouldn’t be faced with disorganization and dis unity once they reach the conven tion.
