Flora Crater, 94, Feminist, Political Activist Fought for Equal Rights
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/02/03/AR2009020303654.html

Flora M. Crater, 94, a feminist and political activist who waged a decades-long campaign to persuade Congress and the Virginia legislature to pass the Equal Rights Amendment, died of a brain tumor Feb. 1 at her daughter's home in Hockessin, Del.

Ms. Crater, founder and editor of the Woman Activist newsletter and the Almanac of Virginia Politics, led a group of women known as Crater's Raiders to lobby for the ERA during the 1970s and 1980s. She was still working for the amendment with various organizations until her death.
