Title IX was initially intended to give women more opportunities in higher education, with access to athletics a mere side effect. By opening the gates to gyms, stadiums and playing fields, however, Title IX changed the way women in America see themselves. Here, in their own words, are what Title IX has meant to athletes, coaches, administrators and league officials.
“The concern I had was you had 53 percent of American people happen to be women, you can’t ignore their brain power. If you give a person an education, whether it’s a boy or girl, young woman or young man, they will have tools necessary to make a life for families and themselves.” … “Little girls need strong bodies to carry their minds around just as little boys do.” … “I may have put words on the piece of paper, but those who made Title IX come alive are the coaches and the players and the parents. All of them participate in giving their daughters the same opportunities as their sons.”
