Young women were not admitted into many colleges and universities, athletic scholarships for women were
rare, and math and science were a realm reserved for boys. Girl’s square danced instead of playing sports,
studied home economics instead of training for “male-oriented” trades. Girls could become teachers and
nurses, but not doctors or principals; women rarely were awarded tenure and even more rarely appointed
college presidents. There was no such thing as sexual harassment because “boys will be boys,” after all, and if
a student got pregnant, her formal education ended. Graduate professional schools openly discriminated
against women.” This is what lead to the Women’s Rights Movement, also called women’s liberation
movement, diverse social movement, largely based in the United States, that in the 1960s and ’70s sought
equal rights and opportunities and greater personal freedom for women. It coincided with and is recognized as
part of the “second wave” of feminism.
Title IX is a federal civil rights law passed as part of the Education Amendments of 1972. This law protects
people from discrimination based on sex in education programs or activities that receive Federal financial
assistance. Title IX states that:
“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 applies to any institution receiving federal financial assistance from the Department of Education,
including state and local educational agencies. Educational programs and activities that receive federal funds
from the Department of Education must operate in a nondiscriminatory manner. Also, a recipient may not
retaliate against any person for opposing an unlawful educational practice or policy, or because a person made
charges, testified or participated in any complaint action under Title IX.

The women’s movement allowed girls/women to attend (elite) colleges and educational activities that
may have previously been banned from women or had a small quota of women they would allow into
the programs. Girls did not have the same opportunities or rights that boys did in school, and often,
were not encouraged to further their education beyond a high school diploma, where they were
expected to then turn to motherhood and housewife work. It was unheard of prior to this for a woman
to be able to pursue extracurricular activities or a college education, and if she tried she was treated
poorly or ignored. The general phrase used, “It’s not a woman’s place.” You read that a lot in
articles, or hear it used often in movies set during that time, and unfortunately, that opinion may still
be heard today. But in today’s time, women can participate in any extracurricular activities in school,
pursue any type of work/career they want, and apply to any college (regardless of elite status)
without worry that their gender will hinder their chances.
One of the major legislative actions from the Department of Justice, “Passed by Congress on June
23, 1972, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 bars sex discrimination in education
programs and activities offered by entities receiving federal financial assistance,” is what helped
solidify women’s rights in school in the 1970s.

The women’s movement was a positive step towards gender equality. The movement pushed for equality in
educational institutions and workplaces. At the time, women were not permitted to participate in athletics or
school. In the modern world, a woman can follow any career, play sports, or attend college, without having to
worry about anything.
On June 23, 1972, Congress passed the Title IX of Education Amendments, which prohibited sex
discrimination in educational programs and activities offered by institutions receiving financial aid from the
federal government. Girls now have more equal access to educational opportunities and resources because
other legislative measures, such as the Gender Equity In Education Act of 1994.
Giving women the freedom to own property, power over their own bodies, and equal access to jobs, education,
and sports were a few of their ultimate goals. It’s difficult to imagine a society in which women don’t receive
equal rights.

Society doesn’t change easily, and it’s definitely not quiet in doing so. From the patriarchal idea of family and
society in general until now, revolutions in the struggle of how society views the women role has evolved over
time. The women movement has changed the status of girls and the way they are treated in schools in a lot
ways, but there is still room for improvement. Starting with the movements at the Seneca Falls Convention in
July 1848, where women organized to fight against their oppression, until January 2021, with Kamala Harris
becoming the first female Vice President of the United States, women in America have made leaps in their
acceptance in society. Women struggled with their role in the family, in the workspace, and within society as a
whole. Women were viewed as just a simple place holder instead of being respected with the same privileges’
of men in society. They were looked over and abused whether it was socially or physically. In the school
system some weren’t even allowed to attend school. School attendance for women sounded like a foreign
language to others. Some families allowed their girls to attend, but many wasn’t able to finish, because of the
authority figures in their life. Men made decisions for women and that was the norm. Education was put on the
back-burner when being compared to the wife duties for women. They wanted them to stay home and not
advance in life. Even in the job world. Women were and still in certain aspects looked over when it came to
men positions, and definitely underpaid in comparison to men. Changes took place through the enactment of
Title IX of the Education Amendment and the Gender Equity in Education Act. Title IX gives women athletes
the right to equal opportunity in sports in educational institutions that receive federal funds, from elementary
schools to colleges and universities. Th e implement of Title IX opened doors and removed barriers for girls
and women, and it allowed the female participation at the high school level in sports to grow.

Women’s rights movement, wanted equal rights, opportunities, and greater personal freedom for women. The
women’s rights movement was for the rights of women on every area of their lives, such as politics, work, the
family, and sexuality. Women rights movement formed to fight for the rights of women. This movement is the
second in the wave of feminist movement. This movement has made many changes to education of women in
higher education and the education of children. The achievement of women’s movement empowered women in
education that gave women social equity.
The movement became successful with so many women getting education. This inspired more women to
education and encouraged their children to get an education.
One major legislative actions that contributed to changes for women is the Title IX of the Education
Amendments of 1972 (Title IX). This amendment prohibited sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation, and
gender identity) discrimination in any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.
Federal courts and agencies have found that Title IX prohibits sex-based harassment, including sexual
harassment.

The women’s movement has helped changed the status of girls and how they are treated. Before the first
movement, women were just seen as homemakers who were there to take care of their children and husband.
Education or jobs in the workforce were deemed irrelevant. Each time there has been a wave of the women’s
movement, there has been more equality that takes place in education and the workforce. This has helped
women be able to get a better education and go on to receive higher education and be able to work in the field
in which they want.
Title IV of the Educational Amendments was passed by Congress in 1972. This law states that no one in the
United States can be excluded or denied based on their sex. This helped girls to be able to receive a better
education and be able to participate in anything that they wanted. Also, this helped to ensure girls would be
considered equal and help with gender equality
