Description: "Contrary to rumors on campus and in the local press, Cynthia Pemberton did not set out in 1992 to destroy the long-honored football team of Linfield College, a small liberal arts school in Oregon. Instead, the Assistant Athletic Director for Women's Sports wanted to make athletic opportunities equally available to both women and men - simply to make the college comply with the law. Her six-year crusade for full implementation of Title IX made headlines across the nation.

Here is Pemberton's autobiographical account of what would become the ordeal of her life."--BOOK JACKET.
