1973. The Battle of the Sexes. It was the match that changed everything. In this riveting
book by New York Times sports columnist Selena
Roberts, the whole spectacle returns, larger than life and
more important than ever. This story reaches beyond two
outsize and utterly fascinating personalities who emerged
during a simmering social revolution that pitted chauvinists
against feminists. It also chronicles the complex, longtime
marriage of Billie Jean and Larry King; the cavalcade of
issues that rocked the 1970s, from equal pay to abortion
rights; and a wrenching coming-out story recounted in
intimate detail by Billie Jean King for the first time.
