Title IX: A Brief History with Documents

Product Description

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.
