Abstract

[Chapter 2 reflects on scholarly works as they apply to my study, exploring issues previously untouched in discussions on the origins of Title IX. I discuss the literature on feminist political activism in the 1960s and 1970s, particularly studies that address matters of race, class, gender, and sexuality; concepts from social movement theory, specifically political and cultural opportunity structures, strategic adaptation, and resource mobilization; and social network theory, including the value of open-systems and weak ties. I place the struggle for gender equity within the context of the Johnson and Nixon presidencies. While not identical, both administrations were qualitatively similar in their indifference toward women’s rights, taking steps to open up the system because of political expediency.]
