carleesi's review against another edition
2.75
Great way to understand a culturally significant event but it was way to empathetic to Bobby Riggs. He was a POS regardless of how humble he was after being beaten.
Thoroughly enjoyable to read about Margaret Court getting smashed though (in case you’re wondering why I’d celebrate this, she’s a big homophobe/transphobe).

This is a well done graphic novel about the tennis match between Billie Jean Kin and Bobby Riggs. It seems strange today, that this was a big deal, but it was, and it was very closely watched. Like the little girl in the picture below, I know I felt that same triumph when King won. Especially, since, as this book points out, Riggs was being such a pig about the whole thing.
Good book to introduce girls and boys what life was like int he bad old days of the 1970s. Wished that it truly had made a difference, but in some ways it did. It gave all the young girls out there a feeling that they too could succeed at tennis.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
