Helaine Becker' s An Equal Shot is a nonfiction picture book introduction to the history and importance of Title IX as civil rights legislature, featuring illustrations by Dow Phumiruk. You' ve likely heard of the law Title IX. It protects the equal rights of students, athletes, and professionals in America regardless of gender. But do you know about the women who fought to enact this new law? Here is the rousing account of how Title IX was shaped at the hands of brave politicians who took risks to secure women' s dreams and their futures under the Constitution. From the creative team that brought you Counting on Katherine and told in simple, commanding prose, An Equal Shot celebrates the power of words to defend and unite vulnerable people. Christy Ottaviano Books
Becker ably explains to readers that Title IX is about more than just giving girls and women the ability to play sports. . . Both an easy-to-read introduction and a powerful reminder that we must always fight for equality. --Kirkus Reviews
