Althea: The Life of Tennis Champion Althea Gibson by Sally H. Jacobs

informative inspiring slow-paced

3.75

First, it must be said that Althea Gibson's accomplishments, legacy, and impact on the world of tennis have been neglected for decades. Sally H. Jacobs biography on Gibson is a well researched and well written look at her life, as well as at the history of U.S. tennis itself. 'Althea' is a fascinating read for not just fans of Gibson but of tennis in general. Four stars!
