Tennis legend Billie Jean King profiles 11 of today's pioneering female and nonbinary athletes in this inspiring nonfiction book that will empower athletes and sports fans ages 12 and up. Billie Jean King made history in her 1973 "Battle of the Sexes" tennis match against Bobby Riggs. She proved women athletes were as capable, determined, and worth watching as men. Now, she highlights the trailblazing female and nonbinary athletes of today who are proving the same thing every time they play. Billie Jean King profiles both well-known athletes like tennis star Naomi Osaka and WNBA newcomer Caitlin Clark, and emerging talents who deserve to be better known, like flag football player Diana Flores or Paralympic swimmer McKenzie Coan. Featuring exclusive photos from the athletes and their families, this inspiring nonfiction collection shares true stories that empower young athletes and prove that legends aren't just born, they're made--both on and off the playing field. Athletes profiled also include Midge Purce (soccer), Chelsea Gray (basketball), Amit Elor (wrestling), Nikki Hiltz (track), Kendall Coyne Schofield (hockey), Kelsie Whitmore (baseball), and Asjia O'Neal (volleyball).
