Title IX is a law that was passed in 1972. Girls were never really legally prevented from playing sports, but they were socially and "unofficially" prohibited. This law made it possible for young women to advance their standing in the athletic world because it required all schools that receive federal aid to provide equitable financial support to both sexes of athletes. This means that schools have to put as much money into women's sports as they do men's which leveled out the playing field and paved the way for many great women of sports.
