Description
Only fifty years ago, American society purported to believe that female bodies weren't able to play sports as well as men and that female brains could not understand math and science as well as men, despite overwhelming historical evidence that this was untrue. Determined lawmakers, athletes, and advocates worked to overturn this mode of thought with Title IX, a law which allowed women equal access to higher education and sports teams. This updated edition is necessary because now that same law is being used to fight for transgender rights and justice for sexual assault survivors -- the fight is ongoing, and even today there are lawmakers who would prefer to see it overturned.
