Contrary to rumors on campus and in the local press, Cynthia Pemberton did not set out in 1992 to destroy the long-honored football team of Linfield College, a small liberal arts school in Oregon. Instead, the Assistant Athletic Director for Women's Sports wanted to make athletic opportunities equally available to both women and men - simply to make the college comply with the law. Her six-year crusade for full implementation of Title IX made headlines across the nation. Here is Pemberton's autobiographical account of what would become the ordeal of her life.

About the Author:
Cynthia Lee A. Pemberton is Associate Professor in the College of Education and Chair of the Department of Education Leadership at Idaho State University.
From Booklist:
When Pemberton joined Oregon's Linfield College as assistant athletic director for women's sports in 1989, she had never heard of Title IX, a 1972 constitutional amendment prohibiting the discrimination between men and women in the allotment of funds for education. But Title IX would change her life. She soon discovered that women's sports at Linfield were treated anything but equally to men's, even to the point that women athletes had to pay for their own uniforms. Pemberton's fight to make her school comply with the law would alienate her from almost all her colleagues and would make her, against her will, a celebrity. This precise recounting of Pemberton's legal battle makes an excellent case study, but it doesn't address the larger questions that Title IX has prompted: specifically, whether the legislation, which never specifically mentions sports, was meant to be used in the ways it is being used today.
