Episode 2 – On the Basis of Sex

In 1969, Virginia "Anne" Ginger Scott sued for her admission into the College of Arts in Sciences. In this episode, we'll discuss that lawsuit, but we'll also leave the district court where it was filed and travel all the way over to the Supreme Court to understand how national legal trends made coeducation an imperative back at UVA.  Shownotes:  In this episode, you heard from Anne Coughlin who teaches criminal law and procedure and feminist jurisprudence at the University of Virginia School of Law. You also heard from Ann Brown (CLAS '74).  The lawsuit, Kirstein v. Rector and Visitors and the University of Virginia can be found here: https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/FSupp/309/184/2096076/   Check out Serena Mayeri's book, Reasoning from Race: Feminism, Law, and the Civil Rights Revolution.  The theme music in this episode is "Palms Down" by Blue Dot Sessions. You also heard "McCarthy" from Blue Dot Sessions.  Ruther Bader Ginsburg's interview with Time Magazine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rv838WxQaeQ  NBC News Coverage on Thurgood Marshall and the Brown v.
