sep 17, 1967 - National Organization of Women (NOW) formed

Description:

Included a provision in its 1967 Women's Bill of Rights calling for "equal and unsegregated education." Continued agitation and lobbying around the topic led to the passage of Title IX in 1972 that stated "no person... shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance."
