Well, it seems it's dead in Virginia for 2019 at least.

"WASHINGTON — The bid to make Virginia the final state needed to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment was stopped in the House of Delegates Tuesday morning."

"A House subcommittee on privileges and elections voted 4-2 along party lines to recommend killing the House and Senate resolutions that would have ratified the amendment, which declares that “equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.”"

"The Virginia House recommendation means it is almost certain the resolutions will not make it to the House floor."
