According to a study by the Women’s Sports Foundation, female participation in high school sports rose from 290,000 in 1972 to 3.4 million in 2019. The impact of Title IX has extended to professional athletics as well, with major advancements such as the creation of the Women’s National Basketball Association being credited in part to it.
