"Billie Jean King's life has been as colorful, as precedent-shattering, and as determined as her performance on the tennis courts. Now, she tells her own story in a forthright autobiography that is at once a moving personal history of a woman who always perceived herself as a distinct individual, and a behind-the-scenes look at the world of women's sports. Billie Jean King has spent much of her life as a trailblazer: as a young girl from a working-class family playing the rich kid's game of tennis; as a female superstar in a sports world dominated by men; as a leader and spokesperson for women's equality of opportunity and, recently, as a celebrity called upon to make public the details of her private life. As she recalls her own life and career, and reflects on changing attitudes toward women both in and out of the sports world, King emerges as a thoughtful, sensitive person, an image far different from the one the press has usually imposed upon her. She writes of her life as a touring athlete, of the men and women who share that world, and the friendships and intense rivalries that develop. She tells about the agonies and pressure of becoming number one, about the difficulties of living without any privacy, and, most of all, how she has been affected, both as a competitor and as a woman. With rare and touching honestly, she evaluates her sometimes troubled marriage and calmly relates the story of her over-publicized affair with Marilyn Barnett. Billie Jean is a straightforward, often amusing account of the tangled relationship between women's sports and the women's movement in the last two decades, and it is the story of a woman who has, finally, reconciled the tensions between being an athlete and being a woman." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
