In 1972, our high school girls’ gymnastics team had to wear whatever get-ups we could fashion into something that remotely looked liked uniforms. Mine was a fashion body-suit that snapped “you know where,” and some dark L’eggs stockings with the feet cut off. We started our practice as soon as the boys finished with the gym. At least we had our own locker room, right?
Like most women of my age or older, I watch the Olympics with a special sort of pride. Title IX was signed into law in the summer of 1972.
You go, girls.
