Filled with rich characters—from Bernice Resnick Sandler, an early organizer for the law, to her trans grandchild—the story of Title IX is a legislative and legal drama with conflicts over regulations and challenges to the law. It’s also a human story about women denied opportunities, students struggling for an education free from sexual harassment, and activists defying sexist discrimination. These intersecting narratives of women seeking an education, playing sports, and wanting protection from sexual harassment and assault map gains and setbacks for feminism in the last fifty years and show how some women benefit more than others. Award-winning journalist Sherry Boschert beautifully explores the gripping history of Title IX through the gutsy people behind it.   In the tradition of the acclaimed documentary She’s Beautiful When She’s Angry, 37 Words offers a crucial playbook for anyone who wants to understand how we got here and who is horrified by current attacks on women’s rights.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49852178858257,"sku":"CIN1620975831G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50280746877201,"sku":"CIN1620975831VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51039985533201,"sku":"NIN9781620975831","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52606113612049,"sku":"NLS9781620975831","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1620975831.jpg?v=1750799821"},{"product_id":"plug-in-hybrids-book-sherry-boschert-9780865715714","title":"Plug-In Hybrids","description":"This book points out that, whereas hydrogen fuel-cell cars won't be ready for decades, the technology for plug-in hybrids exists today. Unlike conventional hybrid cars which can't run without petrol, plug-in hybrids use petrol or cheaper, cleaner, domestic electricity -- or both. Although not yet for sale, demand for plug-in hybrids is widespread, coming from characters across the political spectrum, such as: Chelsea Sexton, the automotive insider: working for General Motors, Sexton fought attempts to destroy the all-electric EV1 car and describes how car companies are resisting plug-in hybrids -- and why they'll make them anyway; Felix Kramer and the tech squad: Kramer started a non-profit organisation using the Internet to tap into a small army of engineers who built the first plug-in Prius hybrids; R James Woolsey, former CIA director and national security hawk: seeing the end of oil supplies looming, Woolsey is demanding plug-in hybrids to wean us from petroleum. Cautioning that the oil and auto companies know how to undermine the success of plug-in car programs to protect their interests, the book gives readers tools to ensure that plug-in hybrids get to market -- and stay here.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50268323643665,"sku":"CIN0865715718VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50416779526417,"sku":"CIN0865715718G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51742227857681,"sku":"GOR007249079","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53180753084689,"sku":"GOR007114900","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0865715718.jpg?v=1750884152"},{"product_id":"fifty-years-of-title-ix-book-sherry-boschert-9798893850314","title":"Fifty Years of Title IX","description":"A “valuable, well-researched and nuanced history” (Booklist) of the groundbreaking law that transformed education, athletics, and gender equity in the United States—and the battles still being fought today    In 1972, thirty-seven words quietly entered federal law and ignited a revolution:  “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”    Title IX redefined what was possible for women and girls in America’s schools—from access to classrooms and sports fields to protection from sexual harassment and assault. In Fifty Years of Title IX, a book The Washington Monthly calls “an impressive feat,” award-winning journalist Sherry Boschert traces the dramatic story of how this pivotal law came to be, how it has evolved, and why it remains a powerful—and contested—force in the struggle for gender justice.    Through meticulous reporting, Boschert introduces readers to the trailblazers behind the law, including Bernice Resnick Sandler, and the generations who have demanded that its promises be fulfilled. Called “inspiring” by Publishers Weekly, Fifty Years of Title IX “puts a human face” (Library Journal) on the fight for gender equity.    As Lucy Jane Bledsoe, author of No Stopping Us Now, writes, Boschert has published “a road map for what it will take to go forward. It is a really important book.”","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53613089292561,"sku":"NGR9798893850314","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53639940702481,"sku":"NLS9798893850314","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53665807073553,"sku":"NIN9798893850314","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9798893850314.jpg?v=1780316384"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-sherry-boschert.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
