This book examines the passage and impact of Title IX up to the present day. The 1972 law requiring gender equity in educational programs receiving federal funding has had a transformative effect on American education.

Combining legal and cultural perspectives, the book offers a balanced and insightful history of Title IX that will be useful to students interested in the history of gender, equality, and the law in the contemporary United States.
