September 29th, 1988: Stacy Allison became the first American woman to reach the highest point on earth – Mount Everest, or Chomo-Lungma, “Mother Goddess of the Land.” The summit reaches two-thirds of the way through the air of the Earth’s atmosphere at 29,035 feet above sea level; oxygen levels are low, temperatures are extremely cold, and weather is unpredictable and dangerous.
“Everest wasn’t like any other mountain. Only one of ten climbers who attempt the mountain stands on the summit. And for every three climbers who do scale the mountain, one dies trying. The facts aren’t welcoming. But you don’t plan a trip to Everest believing those facts will apply to you.”
— Stacy Allison

On this day in HeRSTORY, Billie Jean King beat Bobby Riggs in a highly-publicized "Battle of the Sexes" tennis match. Her win helped legitimize women's professional tennis and female athletes, and was seen as a victory for women's rights. Billie Jean King has been known as the "mother of modern sports" and has been an active coach, commentator, and advocate for women's sports and other causes. John McEnroe also called King "the single most important person in the history of women's sports" during the renaming ceremony of the USTA National Tennis Center - the home of the U.S. Open - which was renamed in King's honor.

72 years after the first women's rights convention at Seneca Falls, women won the right to vote in the United States with the ratification of the 19th amendment. After two votes of 48 to 48, a single vote allowed the House to approve the amendment; Tennessee ratified it, and then the Constitution was changed.
Despite the ratification and the many contributions of Black women, it took more than 40 additional years for ALL women to achieve voting equality.

50 years ago, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, Section 1681 was enacted. It states "No person in the United States shall, on the basis of s*x, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance."
These 37 words opened the doors to all kinds of opportunities for women. Women were able to take advantage of traditionally "male" coursework and professions such as plumbing or welding, and men were able to enroll in classes such as nursing and teaching. Women started earning more college degrees, becoming professors, and most of all, participating in sports. Title IX also safeguarded women's positions in the case of pregnancy. The Amendment has improved equality within education, scholarships, school funding, and especially women's representation in sports, but there is still much to be done before complete equality can be reached.
