Title IX Pat Summitt and...

Mary Ellen Pethel

In June 1972, President Richard Nixon put pen to paper and signed the Educational Amendments of 1972 into law. The nearly 150-page document makes no mention of “gender,” “athletics,” “girls,” or “women.” The bill did not appear to contain anything earth shattering. But tucked into its final pages, a heading appears, “Title IX—Prohibition of Sex Discrimination.” These 37 words would change the world for girls and women across the United States. On its face, Title IX legally guaranteed equal opportunity in education. In time, Title IX would serve as the tipping point for the modern era of women’s sport. Slowly but surely, women’s athletics at the high school and collegiate levels grew to prominence, and Tennessee fast emerged as a national leader.
In Title IX, Pat Summitt, and Tennessee’s Trailblazers, Mary Ellen Pethel introduces readers to past and present pioneers—each instrumental to the success of women’s athletics across the state and nation. Through vibrant profiles, Pethel celebrates the lives and careers of household names like Pat Summitt and Candace Parker, as well as equally important forerunners such as Ann Furrow and Teresa Phillips. Through their lived experiences, these fifty individuals laid the foundation for athletic excellence in Tennessee, which in turn shaped the national landscape for women’s sports.
With interviewees ranging from age 20 to 93, Pethel artfully combines storytelling with scholarship. Guided by the voices of the athletes, coaches, and administrators, Pethel vividly documents achievement and adversity, wins and losses, and advice for the next generation. This book represents the first statewide compilation of its kind—offering readers a behind-the- scenes perspective of Tennessee women who dedicated their lives to the advancement of sport and gender equality. Readers will delight in Title IX, Pat Summitt, and Tennessee’s Trailblazers: 50 Years, 50 Stories. For more follow @drpethel.

The Law

Frédéric Bastiat

"The Law" is a classic work written by the French political economist and philosopher Frédéric Bastiat. Originally published in 1850, the book is a concise and powerful exploration of the concept of law and its proper role in society. Bastiat's main argument revolves around the idea that the purpose of law is to protect individual rights and property, rather than being an instrument for legal plunder or the redistribution of wealth. In "The Law," Bastiat discusses the fundamental principles of a just and free society, emphasizing the importance of limited government intervention and the protection of individual liberties. He criticizes various forms of legal plunder, such as tariffs, subsidies, and progressive taxation, which he views as violations of the natural rights of individuals. The book is known for its clarity of thought, persuasive reasoning, and its defense of the principles of classical liberalism.
