| Publisher Description: Gender inequality still exists in sports at all levels, even in the face of the landmark Title IX legislation to protect against discrimination and sexism in federally funded recreational sports. Girls, women, trans, and intersex people face sexist attitudes and unfair rules and regulations. Readers will learn the history and impact of Title IX and explore how additional changes could lead to equality in sports. From contemporary issues such as equal pay for women athletes and specific discrimination cases such as Caster Semanya, who participated in the Olympics, this book details the continued struggle against unequal pay, discrimination, and sexism. |
