Title 9 Anniversary - Only 40 years?

dykeumentary · 06-21-2012, 07:55 AM

Title IX became law on June 23, 1972. Although it was intended to be about job opportunities for women at universities, I think most people associate it with supporting athletics for girls and women.

I started kindergarten in 1970, and I might have dropped out of high school if I hadn't played sports. I stayed in school because the school had equipment and coaches and teams to play on. I'm glad I played sports, because softball leagues became one of the few places (outside of bars) to find other dykes.

I'd love to hear if Title IX/sports made a difference in your education.
