'When Title IX was passed 50 years ago today, it helped girls gain access to spaces that they were not able to enter. It also changed the lives of three generations of my family.'
Focusing on school-based curricula wasn’t enough for Lubetkin. In 1975, she took on the state’s scholastic athletic programs. She surveyed high school coaches to find disparities between how boys’ and girls’ sports were treated. The analysis resulted in a formal complaint with the state’s civil rights division and huge changes for girls’ teams.
When she got older, Julie Lubetkin took further advantage of the opportunities Title IX created for her. “By high school, I didn’t feel like I was limited in terms of opportunities to play sports,” she said. She competed on her high school’s tennis and swim teams on the varsity level and participated in a recreational softball team.
“My generation may have been a little blind to some of the fights and the things that my mom and her contemporaries were doing to earn these opportunities,” said Lubetkin. ”Most didn’t realize that it had only been a few years that these were available.”As the 2020 Yale women’s soccer team captain, Julie’s daughter, Alyssa Fagel carried her grandmother’s torch onto the field. Even though Fagel grew up playing on a nationally ranked club soccer team, Title IX was not on her radar.
