Today marks the 50th anniversary of Title IX — the U.S. legislation which gave female athletes the right to equal opportunity in sports. So, today’s episode of The GIST of It is a celebration of the landmark law and its impact on women’s sports. Co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz will discuss what Title IX covers exactly, a few of the trailblazers who paved the way in women’s sports and what the next 50 years under Title IX might look like. Cue that confetti.
