Top golfer Tiger Woods last year stuttered through a defense of Augusta National Golf Club’s male-only membership. Club President Hootie Johnson was far less timid when he said, “There may well come a day when women will be invited, but that timetable will be ours and not at the point of a bayonet." Despite the controversy, the annual Masters’ tournament held at Augusta continues to attract the world’s best golfers. Civil rights groups are increasingly asking: “why?” Private clubs are permitted to selectively determine their membership, but at a time when golf is just beginning to reach a more diverse population, should professional golf’s finest turn a blind eye to discrimination?

Dr. Heidi Hartmann
founded the Institute for Women’s Policy Research in 1987 to meet the need for women-centered, policy-oriented research. At IWPR, Dr. Hartmann has co-authored several reports including Unnecessary Losses: Costs to Americans of the Lack of Family and Medical Leave; Who Needs a Family Wage?: The Implications of Low-Wage Work for Family Well-Being and The Impact of Social Security Reform on Women. Before founding IWPR, she taught at Rutgers University and the New School for Social Research and worked at the National Academy of Sciences and the US Commission on Civil Rights. In 1994, she was the recipient of a MacArthur fellowship "genius grant," to recognize her pioneering work in the field of women and economics.
