Abstract

[Chapter 5 shows how feminists used Executive Order (EO) 11375 as a legal opening wedge to Title IX while fueling the nationwide ground swell of feminist activism during the late 1960s. Pivotal to the effort to open up the system for women were Catherine East and Bernice Sandler, each a hub of her network of activists and organizations working against the resistance of President Richard Nixon’s administrators. With the precedence of EO 11375 in hand, activists moved to Congress, where Representative Edith Green held a series of sex discrimination hearings that became instrumental to developments leading to Title IX. Despite their good intentions, however, activists limited the scope of their early endeavor with classist and racist exclusions, largely unintentional, as they were based on advocates’ narrow frame of reference.]
