This year marks the 50th anniversary of Title IX and since then you'd be hard pressed to find any person who's done more for women’s athletics than Billie Jean King. In addition to her on court accomplishments in tennis, King has served as an activist, a business woman, and an iconic cultural figure. Along with an interview with King herself, Caitlin Thompson of Racquet Magazine joins John Gonzalez to put Billie Jean King’s life and achievements in perspective.
