Title IX: Opportunity Comes Knocking, Michele A. Brown
Playing sports has meant everything to me. I say everything because I truly believe being an athlete shaped who I am today. I have all those women who never got to play and the authors of Title IX to thank. I have my parents to thank, and all of my wonderful coaches along the way who never made me feel less than an athlete.

Title IX: More Than Sports, Jeanne E. Miller and Carol Hollenshead
In 1970, before Title IX was passed, 41 percent of college students were women; today women are the majority, at 57 percent. The changes in graduate and professional school enrollments have been even more dramatic: with many colleges maintaining quotas for women, only 14 percent of doctoral degrees were awarded to women in 1970; by 2000 the percentage had increased to over 40 percent.

Coming of Age with Title IX, Yolanda T. Moses
The development of Title IX began in 1969. As an undergraduate and a civil rights activist on my campus, I knew little about the far-reaching ramifications of Title IX or its inspiration through the Civil Rights legislation. Later as a faculty member, I asked students to compare the impact of Title IX and the Civil Rights Acts to help them understand how distant federal policies could influence their everyday lives.
