I once sat next to Billie Jean on a flight and had no idea who she was. She asked me if I knew what Title 9 was and I said yes and she said that was all that mattered.

I remember watching this as a young girl. I cried when she won. Pivotal moment.

The song Philadelphia Freedom by Elton John is written about her. Billie Jean King played on a tennis team called Philadelphia Freedom

Love her!! I was 8 years old and it was a BIG deal… everyone in my orbit was for Riggs except me. I was secretly pulling for King and even when she won I kept to myself but it was a huge moment for me!!!

I was 8 years old and watched the match in the living room of my best friend - we were 100% focused - it was great to go back to school and flaunt it in front of the boys.😊

I was 8 and remember my whole family watching together, rooting for her. She’s not wrong on how important it was for her to win.👏 I remember it vividly.

I had just moved to Houston and we were invited to the Battle of the Sexes. We were newlyweds - I was 20. Your victory was huge for me and all women. 🎾

I never knew about this until I watched the movie Battle of the Sexes with Steve Carell and Emma Stone. Billie Jean King was a trailblazer. ❤️
