The amendment you are referring to is likely the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). It was indeed proposed in 1971, aiming to guarantee equal legal rights for all American citizens regardless of sex. However, it fell short of ratification by the required number of states before the deadline, which was initially set for 1979 and later extended to 1982. As of my knowledge cutoff in January 2022, the ERA had not been added to the U.S. Constitution.
