Schlafly and Koontz have different notions of what it means to be a woman. Explain what these differences are and how they inform the author's distinct views of the ERA

Schafly was a prominent contestant of the Equal Rights Amendment.

She defended the idea that some women still wanted to be treated as such, meaning they didn´t want to compete with men on an equal basis, but to hold the right to be a fulltime wife and mother and to be financially supported by their husbands.

Explanation:

On the other hand, Koontz, who was head of the US Women´s Boureau, defended the ERA because she considered that denying rights for women who didn´t fulfill social prospects, such as having a man to support them, disregarded the situation of those women who not only didn´t have a male provider, but sometimes were them who took care of an ill husband, or other situations that didn´t match social expectations.
