Title IX insured that, regardless of gender, people would not be denied funding or opportunities in academia, including school sports teams. Some of its biggest successes and hurdles commonly recognized are focused on the sports aspect, and today’s book, Getting in the Game: Title IX and the Women’s Sports Revolution by Deborah L. Blake, takes a closer look at how much of an impact it’s had. Going over the progress made since its creation in 1972 and the room it still has to grow, the author takes an even-handed approach into celebrating and criticizing what Title IX has accomplished.
