Is it alright to insert a portion of this on my personal site if I publish a reference point to this site?

Thanks for this really interesting post–and thanks to the commenters for their additional insights. This article strikes me as particularly timely, since Title IX continues to come under fire in the USA. I feel so fortunate that the question of “whether” I would be playing sports as a child was never raised. Which sports and for what teams–those were the questions my parents had to debate, and I’ll be forever grateful to the frontrunners of the movement for women’s equality in athletics.
I love that you singled out Vero as one of those frontrunners for Spain, and I have to believe that your and Lianne’s presence on the Espanyol women’s team is also a positive development for both the club and the league.
I always learn so much from reading about your reflections on your experiences, so thanks again! Eager for the next installment.

Thanks for providing all of these details, Jo, both about Espanyol as an organization and about your new digs in Spain!
Also, Sitges sounds TRULY incredible.

It is very true. Liz brought up a lot of issues that had never really crossed my mind. As they say “You don’t know what you don’t know.” Thank you Liz for educating us

“I am consistently amazed by all they have achieved and I stand in awe of an institution that is able to build so much self-esteem in teenage girls that it bolsters and buoys them through that rough hell that female adolescence can be on young girl’s self-worth.)”

This is the key to a lot of things in the progress of women in society. The better they (I use they as I’m a man) can articulate themselves, acknowledge to themselves what they like/don’t like (in men and in general), and lose all the weird guilt that they get in adolescence, the better off they and we will be. Maybe you’re on to something with gender-segregated education in adolescence. A major key is to improvement is the 12-15ish age range.

Hey there! I tweeted this to you as well in response to your question about how we affect change. Give it a read if you get a chance (http://dangerincomplacency.wordpress.com/2011/10/11/how-do-we-affect-change/).

You know I’ve never really thought about how much I take for granted as an American woman. Joanna I think you and Liz said it best and since I’m not as eloquent I’ll just say I found your writing to honest and thoughtful. I look forward to the next one.
