About this listen

Living legend and lifelong activist Billie Jean King talks about what it takes to stand up and fight for equality, regardless of the circumstances. Fifty years ago, King and eight other female tennis players, known as the Original Nine, bravely put their careers and reputations on the line to fight for equal pay and equal footing for women’s tennis, with the indispensable help of promoter Gladys Heldman, the founder and publisher of World Tennis magazine, and the groundbreaking sponsorship of Joseph Cullman III, the CEO of the Philip Morris Company. When the Original Nine signed symbolic one-dollar contracts to stage their first breakaway tournament in Houston, ignoring threats from the existing tennis establishment, it was the start of the pro tennis tour for women as we know it and paved the way for modern stars to earn tens of millions in career prize money today.

Highly Recommend This Audio Book

Great recapping of pivotal moments in 1960s and early 1970s that not only changed Women’s Tennis BUT benefits Women inclusiveness struggles to this day .

Growing Up and following these events as outline by Billie reinforces what is still needed to bring acceptance to inclusiveness for all.

Your passion & drive to be the best human you can be in life , business and career shaped myself , my kids & grandson.

Keep on pushing for change !
