Feedback on Title IX at 50

Once again, you have created a stellar issue in “Title IX at 50” [March 2022].

As our nation still struggles with the place of women in all of society, but especially in male-dominated “arenas,” it is crucial that everyone read about the barriers to women.

It is also somewhat heartening to learn of these women warriors while watching the demeaning treatment of a potential first Black female Supreme Court justice. I say somewhat simply because we have barely run the first mile in a marathon.

I am proud of my alma mater and equally so of your ability to reflect the good, the bad, and our constant effort carve an ethical path.

I never got my copy of Minnesota Alumni in the mail because of being in Arizona and our mail getting all screwed up, but I picked up one up at McNamara the other night and just read it!

What a fabulous issue! The stories were so good and dug so deep! It was really inspiring.

I hope I can pick up a few more copies when I get back. I would like to give them to a few friends and also to my granddaughters.

Congrats! It is a real contribution to continued progress. Unfortunately, there is still work to do.

Thank you very much for excellent editions of Minnesota Alumni. I learn a lot and enjoy good writing.

I just read the Minnesota Alumni articles on Title IX and can’t stop smiling (Linda Roberts, Gretchen Larson, Kathy Eiland!!!)

I’m currently 62 and have a black eye from getting a soccer ball kicked into my face by my own daughter—if only it [had been from one] of my granddaughters! A dream come true to play sports with girls, young and old. Thanks for making me feel young again!

[On “Smashing the Stigmas,” March 2022] Great showcase, and the trauma services are needed so badly. Cheers to your success!
