Background

(“Womens Golf”)

  There are many factors that contributed to the creation of Title IX. When young girls attended grade schools they were often excluded from common tasks around the classroom. In high school and middle school girls were forced to take home economics, while the boys could take wood shop or auto mechanics. In 1972, before the Title IX act was signed women had a 43% enrollment rate in college's and that's only if they had very high test scores; men's test scores didn't matter and they could just go to the university ("What is Title IX?"). These are just some of the reasons that women fought for equality and received it from the Title IX Act.
