| Patsy never gave up in her fight to keep athletics a part of Title IX, which represented just 37 words of a much larger education bill passed in 1972. Her efforts and her passion for equality have affected millions of women in the professions, in education and in athletics. In 2002, a month after her untimely death, Title IX was renamed the “Patsy T. Mink Equal Opportunity in Education Act” in honor of its champion. The book tells her story for young readers in a way they can understand and appreciate. |
