And a very important mover in that organization, but les has also been extremely active as an author

In the 50s and 60s, the womens right grew and equal pay act shows up in 1963 and women expressed concern roles and women were not getting the same opportunities as their male counterparts. This is fairly traumatic fairly dramatic. The university of virginia did not accept women into any college except nursing and education until 1970. A lot of women thought that was to stopso the idea was gender discrimination in school. Ask how did that start . How did women and individuals and groups start using title ix . With the woman considered to be the godfather of title ix. She wanted a fulltime tenuretrack edition. In 1979, there were lots of those jobs. She interviewed him at the not get called back and ask a friend and colleague who is a faculty member what she had done wrong and she said you come on too strong for a woman.
