Despite her excellent credentials, it became clear she wasn't even being considered. But why? she wondered. \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\"Let's face it,\" a male colleague said, \"you come on too strong for a woman.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThose fateful words brought sex discrimination home for Sandler. Facing it herself, front and center in her own workplace, meant she could no longer be ambivalent about women's rights. She could no longer buy the media coverage of feminists as \"man-hating,\" \"abrasive,\" and \"unfeminine.\" But what could she do? Sandler soon discovered that none of the obvious laws prohibiting discrimination covered sex discrimination in education. Sandler's work led to the passage of Title IX--making it illegal, once and for all, for a federally funded institution to discriminate against someone based on their sex, including in education. This had a profound effect for women in the workplace, in school, and in sports. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eBernice Sandler and the Fight for Title IX\u003c\/i\u003e that drives home the message that it doesn't take a person with power to make a difference.
