Description

Looking at the very high level of the women's game today, it is hard to believe that, only a century ago, women were actively discouraged from participating in professional and amateur tennis tournaments, and that several generations of skilled sportswomen had to fight tooth and nail for their right to compete in athletic open competitions at the same level as their male counterparts.
This book is a tribute to all those courageous women who did not let other people's opinions or a glass ceiling slow their meteoric rise to the top.
You will read and learn about the female tennis players who are household names today; this trivia book will hopefully also teach you about some of the unsung heroes in the fight for sporting equality.
