The history of Olympic gender equity and where we are now

Season 2024 Episode 225 | 6m 49s

A century later, the International Olympic Committee dubbed the 2024 Games the “gender-equal Olympics.” But that’s not the whole story. Stephanie Sy speaks with Cheryl Cooky, a professor of American studies and women’s, gender and sexuality studies at Purdue University, for a deeper look.
