Trailblazers: The Unmatched Story of Women''s Tennis

English

By (author): Billie Jean King Cynthia Starr

Legendary tennis player Billie Jean King details the remarkable history of womens tennis in this stunning edition of Trailblazers: The Unmatched Story of Women's Tennis.

In celebration of the Womens Tennis Associations 50th anniversary, this updated and expanded editionbased on the 1988 original We Have Come a Long Way: The Story of Women's Tennisincludes more than 250 photographs and 33 years worth of stories about inspiring women and their achievements. The book arrives 53 years after King and eight other women players broke with the male tennis establishment and launched their own professional tour.

With this gorgeous, photographically forward, and deeply moving ode to womens tennis, King and co-author Cynthia Star will continue the remarkable story in which King has played such an integral role, shedding new light on barriers that were overcome and milestones that were achieved. Womens tennis today has never been more popular across the globe and, as this book demonstrates, has never been more diverse and inclusive. See more
