WHEN EVERYTHING CHANGED by Gail Collins
Title IX bans discrimination in schools based on gender—thus ensuring equal opportunities for girls and boys in academics and athletics. When ex-congresswoman Pat Schroeder, one of the driving forces behind Title IX once visited a high school, a coach asked his team of boys to show her what they collectively thought of the legislation—they turned their backs to Schroeder and mooned her.This shocking incident is but one of many Gail Collins uses to superb effect in her illuminating book, WHEN EVERYTHING CHANGED.
