- Description
- This issue was inspired by the inaugural Helen Pond McIntyre '48 Lecture. Named in honor of Helen Pond McIntyre, whose impressive community service included 24 years on the Barnard College Board of Trustees and four years as chairperson of the Long Island Community Foundation. In Part I of this issue a presentation of Professor Stimpson's lecture, ''The Atalanta Syndrome: Women, Sports, and Cultural Values,' in which she uses a classical myth to diagnose a cultural illness: the devaluation of women and women's contradictory responses to it. The provocative issues that she raises about gender and race, about public values and personal embodiment, are at the center of the essays collected here. In Part II, scholars respond to its most pressing and political implications. Part III brings theory to the playing field by examining the impact of Title IX legislation on women athletes, and the need for greater institutional change. Rounding out this issue an essay by E. Grace Glenny, whose lively analyses of Sports Illustrated cover-art invites to consider the connection between visual culture and cultural values, and a coda by Karla FC Holloway, who traces the conversation's many threads through the disturbing and recent Duke lacrosse scandal.
