Beskrivning
The year 1972 is often hailed as an inflection point in the evolution of women's rights. Congress passed Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, a law that outlawed sex-based discrimination in education. Many Americans celebrate Title IX for having ushered in an era of expanded opportunity for women's athletics; yet fifty years after its passage, sex-based inequalities in college athletics remain the reality. Equality Unfulfilled explains why. The book identifies institutional roadblocks - including sex-based segregation, androcentric organizational cultures, and overbearing market incentives - that undermine efforts to achieve systemic change. Drawing on surveys with student-athletes, athletic administrators, college coaches, members of the public, and fans of college sports, it highlights how institutions shape attitudes toward gender equity policy. It offers novel lessons not only for those interested in college sports but for everyone seeking to understand the barriers that any marginalized group faces in their quest for equality.

'Why, fifty years after the passage of Title IX, does gender equality remain elusive? Bringing rigorous analyses of multiple sources of original data into conversation with theories of political behavior, organizational culture, and political economy, James Druckman and Elizabeth Sharrow demonstrate persuasively the ways in which institutional factors such as sex segregation, organizational culture, and economic pressure interact with individual attitudes to normalize gendered hierarchies and anti-trans attitudes, suppress potentially powerful coalitions, and ultimately undermine the possibility of gender equality. They also, however, identify levers that provide possibilities for ways forward. The result is a crucial set of insights about both the limitations and possibilities of a key piece of American legislation.' Dara Strolovitch, Yale University
