In light of the 50th anniversary of the passage of Title IX in the Educational Amendments of 1972, this podcast will explore, through the lens of oral history, what it was like for women athletes and coaches in the era before this groundbreaking legislation. Marge Howes was a pioneering athlete and collegiate coach and administrator who laid the foundation for women's athletics at Rutgers University and beyond in the mid-20th century.
