Thank you. The fight for equality continues!
In 1973, tennis player Billie Jean King beat Bobby Riggs in the highly anticipated “Battle of the Sexes” match, earning respect for women’s tennis. The U.S. Open started offering equal prize money to men and women thanks to her gender equality efforts. #WomensHistoryMonthpic.twitter.com/6Ntf32Gwio

The recent movie made about this was great!

I only learned about it through that movie. Emma Stone + Steve Carell were stellar!

I remember this match well and watched every minute of it. I was heavily into tennis back then in my 11th grade year

Men play more sets, served 20+mph faster, just generally are better at tennis and draw a far bigger TV audience, but they should get the same prize money?
