Gender vs The Arena (Sports), Pt. 1

Join us for this episode of Gender Versus where three queer pals dive into the fascinating history of women in sports. We're unpacking a treasure trove of research, from Title IX's game-changing impact to the harmful myths and barriers faced by women athletes. Ever wonder why pre-Title IX women's sports were so non-competitive? Or how bogus beliefs about women's physical abilities held back progress? We're delving into it all, from the early days of basketball at Smith College to the rise of professional women's leagues. But it's not just about wins and losses; we're also tackling the intersection of gender and race in sports, shining a light on the disparities faced by Black women athletes. So grab your headphones and join us for a lively chat that's equal parts informative and empowering. You won't want to miss this deep dive into the arena of women's sports history!
