Abstract

[The popular press often associates Title IX with women’s sports. Yet, sports were far from the minds of early proponents. The original idea was limited to opening higher education to women students and faculty, a push that, over time, evolved into a sweeping law that has affected all levels of public and private education. This major law has lacked a thorough study of its origins. My study fills the gap by examining developments of interrelated events in the 1960s that were critical to the 1972 enactment of Title IX. Chapter 1 introduces the reader to the thrust of the book and its themes of feminism, gender, power, and caste. It presents the book’s three interwoven strands that reveal both heroism and human shortcomings: the unshakable struggle to overturn a patriarchal, casteist system; issues of class, race/ethnicity, and heteronormativity that lay within the early effort; and particular advocates’ limited perspectives of gender equity.]
