Hi! I have to come up with an argumentative essay for this statement (agree/disagree). I don't understand how to argue for or against this statement and support it with historical facts and cases. Pls help !!

The role of law in the lives of women in America was shaped by the doctrine of coverture and the legal characterization of the role of women as primarily wives and mothers. In the 1970s, feminist activists attempted to redefine the role of women in American society. The Congressional passage of the Equal Rights Amendment in 1972 and the Supreme Court's decision in Roe v. Wade seemed to recast the role of women as full citizens, entitled to both political and economic equality. However, the backlash against this movement towards full equality soon limited the feminists' victory. The legal system's traditional commitment to creating and supporting family as the basic social unit justifies imposing limits upon women's autonomy.
