Ross Yoon Agency represents Uppity Women

I’m pleased to announce that Gail Ross of the Ross Yoon Agency is representing me and my book, a narrative history of Title IX.

I’m working with Ross and her colleagues in the Washington, D.C.-based agency to finalize the book proposal for presentation to publishers. Everything is on track for me to finish writing the book and have it published well before the 50th anniversary of Title IX in 2022. The tentative title: Uppity Women and the Ongoing Fight for a Fair Education.

In the four years that I’ve been conducting research and interviews for the book, I’ve mostly blogged about Title IX news and historical context here on 37 Words. I’ll continue that but I’ll also be posting updates about the book’s progress, so you can follow along as this book idea becomes reality.

I’m thrilled to be in the company of other Ross Yoon authors. These include Sorya Chemaly (Rage Becomes Her) and Van Jones (Beyond the Messy Truth). Also Sarah McBride (Tomorrow Will Be Different: Love, Loss, and the Fight for Trans Equality) and Michael Isikoff and David Corn (Russian Roulette). Also Donna Brazile, Yolanda Caraway, Leah Daughtry, and Minyon Moore (For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Politics). Plus Kristin Downey (The Woman Behind the New Deal), Roberta Kaplan (Then Comes Marriage), and so many more.
