A sweeping history of the federal legislation that prohibits sex
discrimination in education, published on the fiftieth anniversary
of Title IX "No person in the United States shall, on the basis of
sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of,
or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or
activity receiving federal financial assistance." -Title IX's first
thirty-seven words By prohibiting sex discrimination in federally
funded education, the 1972 legislation popularly known as Title IX
profoundly changed the lives of women and girls in the United
States, accelerating a movement for equal education in classrooms,
on sports fields, and in all of campus life. 37 Words is the story
of Title IX. Filled with rich characters-from Bernice Resnick
Sandler, an early organizer for the law, to her trans
grandchild-the story of Title IX is a legislative and legal drama
with conflicts over regulations and challenges to the law. It's
also a human story about women denied opportunities, students
struggling for an education free from sexual harassment, and
activists defying sexist discrimination. These intersecting
narratives of women seeking an education, playing sports, and
wanting protection from sexual harassment and assault map gains and
setbacks for feminism in the last fifty years and show how some
women benefit more than others. Award-winning journalist Sherry
Boschert beautifully explores the gripping history of Title IX
through the gutsy people behind it. In the tradition of the
acclaimed documentary She's Beautiful When She's Angry, 37 Words
offers a crucial playbook for anyone who wants to understand how we
got here and who is horrified by current attacks on women's rights.
