1973 saw tennis player Billie Jean King at the pinnacle of her career. Off the tennis court, King was engaged in fighting for the better acceptance of women’s tennis – an engagement that certainly was not appreciated by all men. The former world number one, and hobby misogynist Bobby Riggs challenged Billie to a match in order to prove the supremacy of men over women once and for all.
