History Hounds | Conquering Heroines: U-M Women Paving the Way to Title IX

[History Hounds] Conquering Heroines: U-M Women Paving the Way to Title IX with Sara Fitzgerald, Author

Learn about the small group of women who successfully challenged U-M and led the way for women seeking to resolving similar complaints at other U.S. universities.
