The Right to Play: How Women Fought and Won the Battle for Equality in Sports | FO° Podcasts

In this episode of FO° Podcasts, Fair Observer’s Editor-in-Chief Atul Singh speaks with Lauren Greenberg, Deputy General Counsel at White & Case LLP, about the transformative impact of Title IX on women’s sports in the United States. From founding Dartmouth’s first women’s softball team to filing a landmark Title IX complaint, Greenberg shares how law became her tool for creating equal opportunity. The conversation explores the evolution of women’s athletics, the life skills sports cultivate, gaps in media representation, and why true gender parity still requires cultural change. They also discuss the next frontier — pay equity, leadership roles and expanding support for underrepresented sports. A powerful discussion on rights, opportunity and the future of women in sport.
