About this ebook
Many know Title IX as groundbreaking legislation that protects people
from sex-based discrimination in education programs and activities that
receive federal financial assistance. Yet, many do not know the history
of women’s sports before Title IX, the history of the amendment, and the
struggle for its implementation. These topics and more are discussed in
Ware’s well-researched and reader-friendly Introduction, followed by 26
provocative, pertinent documents. The carefully selected writings,
organized in chronological order, balance the views of policymakers,
legislators, and commentators with the voices of individuals whose lives
were shaped by the law. Ware purposely presents conflicting points of
view to encourage analytical thinking and lively classroom discussion
about gender equity, both in sports and in American society as a whole.
