A Conversation with Professor Eileen McDonagh and Laura Pappano about their newly published book

Playing with the Boys:
Why Separate is not Equal in Sports
(Oxford University Press, November 2007)

Even before the media outcry over Don Imus's infamously sexist and racist comments about the Rutgers University women's basketball team, the subject of women in sports has always been a heated topic. PLAYING WITH THE BOYS is the first full-scale study of the most sex-segregated institution in the country. Join us for a brief presentation of their revolutionary thesis followed by an opportunity for questions.

When:	Wednesday, December 12, 2007, 5:00 p.m.
Where:	National Organization for Women 1100 H Street, 2nd floor Washington, DC 20005

"McDonagh and Pappano hit a home run! This book shows that coerced sex segregation in sports does not benefit women and, in fact, holds back women who are fully capable of competing with men. Readers will never think of Title IX the same way again."

Kim Gandy, President, National Organization for Women
