Reseña del libro "Maggie Jean"

Title IX. It's not something most people think about, but, as Maggie Jean goes to show, it was one of the most important laws of its time. To demonstrate the importance of this piece of antidiscrimination legislation, author Peggy Kulczewski takes her readers back to a time before Title IX went into effect. The book follows Maggie Jean, a bright, optimistic girl who just wants to play the same sports as the boys. Time and time again, she faces discrimination and resistance from authorities that don't understand her. Even the simple act of wanting to take science classes marks her as a "complainer" by the school. Despite her troubles, Maggie Jean isn't going to give up! In addition to Maggie Jean's amazing journey, the book also provides a section on historical context and the real-life events that inspired the story. Maggie Jean is an important read for anyone facing frustrations about current discrimination. The United States hasn't fully eradicated sexism and other bigotry, but it has come a long, long way. Maggie Jean will inspire the next generation to take a stand against discrimination and pursue their passions with courage and conviction.
