More about the book

The book explores the pivotal moment in 1973 when Billie Jean King's victory over Bobby Riggs in the "Battle of the Sexes" ignited a national conversation about gender equity in sports. It highlights how King's challenge to sexism, the influence of second-wave feminism, and the impact of Title IX collectively fostered a women's sports revolution in the 1970s, leading to significant societal changes in America. Through a blend of biography and historical analysis, it underscores the transformative power of sports in advancing gender equality.
