There Can Be No Doubt That Our Nation Has Had A Long And Unfortunate History Of Sex Discrimination. Traditionally, Such Discrimination Was Rationalized By An Attitude Of "romantic Paternalism" Which, In Practical Effect, Put Women, Not On A Pedestal, But In A Cage.

If Our Free Society Is To Endure, And I Know It Will, Those Who Govern Must Recognize That The Framers Of The Constitution Limited Their Power In Order To Preserve Human Dignity And The Air Of Freedom Which Is Our Proudest Heritage.
