eleanor roosevelt is against it . it is not so simple. it is not this idea that all women said okay, we are doing the e.r.a. it was controversial from the beginning. and it is interesting now to see it coming up again. it is a reminder after 95 years that constitutional amendments can get very close and not be ratified. that is what we were facing in 1920 with the 19th amendment. it really could have failed. and the e.r.a. has just not gotten to that threshold. there are movements now to extend the deadline. it is still controversial among feminists. it does seem like it would be a good thing to do, it is not without some controversy. >> please compare the percentage of women who register to vote versus men in the percentage of women who cast their vote versus men. are today's women capitalizing on the efforts of the suffrage movement? >> currently women are the largest group in the electorate and they vote at higher rates than men. this just started happening 10 years ago. white women are the largest group of women in the electorate. bla

obviously, a reference to franklin and eleanor roosevelt. [laughter] >> so, she is the real power behind the throne. she keeps the home fires burning. she is very involved in the america first committee. wheeler is a speaker for america first. he travels all over the country in 1941 speaking to big rallies, speaking at madison square garden on two different occasions to capacity crowds. she is on the national committee of america first. she is the treasurer of the washington, d.c., chapter, so she really takes this antiwar movement extremely seriously. volunteers her time to work on it. montanaconnection to more than anything i think in addition to living in butte for a while was they had this cabin at glacier national park. wheeler buys a piece of property in what eventually becomes glacier park, so he has a holding inside the national park and it was their summer vacation retreat for years and years. she had a big vegetable garden up there and really ruled the roost on lake mcdonald. so, questions? >> i'm wondering if you could comment mos
