This publication reviews the history of women and girls in athletics, assesses the current status of female participation in high school and college competitive athletics, and summarizes recent policy interpretations by the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (dhew) of Title ix of the Education Amendments of 1972. The historical review focuses on American attitudes toward female physicality from the Victorian era to the present. Current obstacles to female participation in sports are identified as sex stereotyping of athletics as unfeminine, the idea that females should not engage in strenuous activity, and discrimination in the allocation of resources for sports. The role of Title ix (which prohibits sex discrimination in Federally-assisted education programs) in ameliorating discrimination in athletics is explained. Changes in female participation in competitive athletics since 1970 are described and related to the implementation of Title ix. Participation figures, by sex, are presented separately for high schools, two year colleges, and four year colleges, and are broken down individually for football, baseball/softball, basketball, tennis, and track. Also described are college budget allocations for men's and women's intercollegiate sports. Appended to the report are statistical tables and discussions and regulations concerning DHEW's jurisdiction under Title ix. (Gc).

My study uses the 1998-2000 population of NCAA Division I schools to analyze the status of women in sports administration and coaching, and women's access to athletic resources. The study has five dependent concepts--women's representation as head coaches of women's sports; the compensation/salary budgets for coaches of women's sports; the proportion of athletic operating budgets dedicated to women's sports; the proportion of recruiting budgets allocated to women's sports; and the proportion of athletic scholarship budgets dedicated to women's sports--and seven predictors--women's representation as athletic administrators; athletic department profits; women's representation as athletes; women's representation as head coaches; women's difference in participation as athletes vs. undergraduates; the percent of gender-specific revenues from women's athletics; and the presence (or not) of a football team and football profits.
