Was it not ratified by the required 38 states?

Not in the time frame in the legislation that presented the amendment to the states for ratification. Deadline was extended once by Congress but as soon as that expired the ratification of the ERA failed

ERA proponents have argued that the deadline was not binding because it was in the preamble to the amendment, rather than the text of the amendment itself.

Personally, I wouldn’t mind an amendment to the amendment process that would very specifically give a time period to any amendment once it’s been sent to the states. I don’t like that a 100 year-old amendment (ERA) or older could ostensibly just become the law like the 27th.
