A Win for Women: Billie Jean King Takes Down Bobby Riggs by Brandon Terrell

4.0

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.
