Examining the unfinished fight for equality in sports

Kirstin Cronn-Mills uses Title IX as a starting point for examining how legal change reshaped girls’ and women’s sports—and why the pursuit of equality remains unsettled. This updated edition connects the law’s history and impact with the experiences of athletes who have pushed for change, including trans and intersex women. Unequal pay, media coverage, training facilities, and rules are among the issues it addresses, alongside the question of what further changes might make sports more equitable. The book frames sports equality as an ongoing social issue, not a problem resolved by a single law.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in gender equality and sports
  • Readers seeking an introduction to Title IX’s history and impact
  • Those interested in athletes’ advocacy and continuing inequalities in sports

Book overview

In 1972, President Richard Nixon signed Title IX into law, making sex-based discrimination illegal in federally funded sports. This law led to a boom in girls' and women's sports teams at all levels, and Title IX became a touchstone in the fight for gender equality. So why do girls and women, including trans and intersex women, still face sexist attitudes, unfair rules and regulations, and inequality in sports?

The road to equality in sports has been anything but straightforward, and there is still a long way to go. Girls and women continue to face unequal pay, uneven media coverage, unequal training facilities, and sexist comments. In this updated edition, delve into the history and impact of Title IX, learn about the athletes at the forefront of the fight for sports equality, and explore what additional changes could be made to level the playing field for everyone.
