Book Paper: 37 Words I had the opportunity to read the book “37 Words: Title IX and Fifty Years of Fighting Sex Discrimination,” by Sherry Boschert.

Their activism led to the passing of Title IX in 1972, which prohibited discrimination on the basis of gender in all schools receiving federal funding.

A recurring theme in the book Citizen by Claudia Rankine is the erasure of African Americans in society and their own identities. On page 77 of the book, Rankine tells a story of someone who is presumably African American at a grocery store. A man cuts in front of them and then the cashier points out that they were in front of him. The man apologizes and says “Oh my God, I didn’t see you…I really didn’t see you”. This may suggest that since black people tend to be erased in society, other people cannot see them.

There once was a little girl, she had long hair and big eyes; and she loved to play outside in the dirt. At the age of six her mother told her to go inside and play with the dolls, that she would get hurt playing outside. Society taught her that a woman’s job was to take care of a family and raise children of her own one day; she was taught the world was not a place for her. Despite the instilling of this message in many girls, few managed to speak out against it; one of these few was Sylvia Plath. In Sylvia Plath’s work, her deeply rooted emotions and resistance to authority often led people to perceive her as pompous.

Similarly, major cities such as Sydney have a high cost of living, as expected. The price of living in Sydney is “similar to those in San Francisco, which has some of the highest prices in the United States,” (Gitlin 23). As a result, many people are downsizing from a house to an apartment in order to save money. Those who live in apartment complexes in the city typically view their living arrangements positively as everything is mostly within walking distance. They do sometimes wonder how different their lives would be if they lived more towards the countryside, but the ‘grass is always greener on the other side’.
