What to expect
Tennis legend Billie Jean King profiles 11 of today’s pioneering athletes in women's sports in this inspiring nonfiction book based on exclusive interviews that will empower athletes and sports fans ages 12 and up.
Billie Jean King made history in her 1973 "Battle of the Sexes" tennis match against Bobby Riggs. She proved women athletes were as capable, determined, and worth watching as men. Now, she highlights the trailblazing women and nonbinary athletes of today who are proving the same thing every time they play.

Based on exclusive interviews, this electrifying book shares true stories that will energize young athletes and prove that legends aren’t just born, they’re made—both on and off the playing field.
