Play Ball! National Archives Celebrates Sports History with Exhibit All American: The Power of Sports
"Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 prohibits sex discrimination in education programs supported by federal dollars, including high school and collegiate athletic programs. The act dramatically increased the number of women playing sports. Although Title IX guaranteed equal opportunity, it did not guarantee equal spending. Women’s athletic budgets are still lower and scholarships less plentiful than men’s." more »
Women at War 1939 - 1945, The Imperial War Museums: Queen Elizabeth
"Princess Elizabeth began her training as a mechanic in March 1945. She undertook a driving and vehicle maintenance course at Aldershot, qualifying on April 14. Newspapers at the time dubbed her “Princess Auto Mechanic.” There were a wide range of jobs available to female soldiers in the ATS as cooks, telephonists, drivers, postal workers, searchlight operators, and ammunition inspectors. Some women served as part of anti-aircraft units, although they were not allowed to fire the guns. The jobs were dangerous, and during the course of the war, 335 ATS women were killed and many more injured. By June 1945, there were around 200,000 members of the ATS from across the British Empire serving on the home front and in many overseas theaters of war." more »

They told him of nightly raids for Korans and prayer rugs, “unlawful” children, or homes with more than two small knives. To keep the population down “women were forced to submit to gynecological exams, enforced contraception and abortions.” Those put into prison had their heads shaved and their long, black hair sold abroad. more »
Bringing Inflation Down: Federal Reserve Vice Chair Lael Brainard At the Clearing House and Bank Policy Institute 2022 Annual Conference
"While the moderation in monthly inflation is welcome, it will be necessary to see several months of low monthly inflation readings to be confident that inflation is moving back down to 2 percent. How long it takes to move inflation back down to 2 percent will depend on a combination of continued easing in supply constraints, slower demand growth, and lower markups, against the backdrop of anchored expectations. With regard to supply constraints, a variety of indicators are showing signs of improvement on delivery times and supplies of some goods. In addition, labor force participation showed a welcome increase in the August employment data, particularly in the boost in participation among women in the core working years of 25 to 54 years of age."
