Abstract

[Chapter 6 considers the rough beginning in the House and Senate of the provision that became Title IX, analyzing strategies used by leading advocates—Green, Sandler, and Senator Birch Bayh—in the context of a male-chauvinist environment. The chapter reveals twists that belie a simple story. Bayh, the lead Senate sponsor of Title IX, Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), and other issues on women’s rights, came to his feminist position after a rude awakening to the barriers he had placed against his wife’s professional aspirations. In the House, Green voted against the very bill that she had authored, the omnibus education bill of which Title IX was a part. Another twist occurred when the provision that became Title IX was near acceptance in Congress. At that moment, advocates were forced to accept a casteist amendment that cordoned off elite higher education institutions by exempting private colleges and universities from the prohibition against sex discrimination in undergraduate admissions.]
