A reader of influential essays on the history and future of equal educational opportunities in athletics in the US
Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972 reflects America's aspirational belief that girls and boys, women and men, both deserve equal educational opportunities in athletics. This book shows how this ideal has been both implemented and thwarted over the years via actions in the legislature, executive and judicial branches of government.Equal Play; Title IX and Social Change collects the best, up-to-date scholarship, court cases, and other useful materials showing how the governmental processes have influenced the implementation of one of the country's most important social goals: equality in athletics.
“[A] good primer on [Title IX’s] history and struggles…the authors clearly spell out the periodic backlashes to Title IX as well as its victories.”
