Billie Jean King

Hearing @clarebalding on @BillieJeanKing for #Icons is making me appreciate these wonderful women who were role models for me as a child in the 70s. I didnt realise then what these women faced to break the barriers that would benefit my generation. Thank you!

Watching #Icons on the BBC and @BillieJeanKing has just summed up why women havent achieved their potential Men are taught to be brave and women are taught to be perfect something Ive learnt from @execpipeline #truths

"Champions keep playing until they get it right." As well as dominating tennis courts, Kings contribution to womens and gay rights has been substantial. Is she your icon? #Icons
