Let Me Play: The Story of Title IX: The Law That Changed the Future of Girls in America Audiobook

" I loved through this time period and could relate to a lot of it, but learned a great deal more than I did while growing up. I enjoyed the story, but didn't like how many informational insets there were in the book; it disrupted the story too much "

" I couldn't get interested in this book; maybe that's the sexist in me, who knows? This is the story of Title IX in America and how women were affected by their gender and role in society.

It is non-fiction and includes several side-stories and blurbs about real women from the time. It is information that is important for every American to know, but I wouldn't voluntary choose to pull this book off the shelf and sit down and read it for pleasure. "

" All girls should read this. "
