Opposition to Title IX heats up as the NCAA realizes what’s at stake. Wendy Mink brings to vivid life her mother Patsy Takemoto Mink’s - the first woman of color in Congress - role in crafting the succinct 37 words that would become Title IX.

As the bill gears up to go into effect in 1975, she will face the greatest battle of her career when Title IX’s opponents move to kill it. But as Patsy leads the charge to defend Title IX, she’s forced to choose between the survival of the bill… and of her own daughter.
