About this listen
In celebration of the Women’s Tennis Association’s 50th anniversary, this updated and expanded edition—based on the 1988 original We Have Come a Long Way: The Story of Women's Tennis—includes more than 250 photographs and 33 years’ worth of stories about inspiring women and their achievements. The book arrives more than 50 years after King and eight other women players broke with the male tennis establishment and launched their own professional tour.
With this gorgeous, photographically forward, and deeply moving ode to women’s tennis, King and coauthor Cynthia Star continue the remarkable story in which King has played such an integral role, shedding new light on barriers that were overcome and milestones that were achieved. Women’s tennis today has never been more popular across the globe and, as this book demonstrates, has never been more diverse and inclusive. An illuminating reference book of highlights from the world of women's tennis, a beautiful coffee table book, and a perfect gift for the tennis player or women's history buff in your life.
