In her new memoir, the tennis star writes candidly about abortion, feminism, and equal pay
mythologizing the toughness of King and her contemporaries, one that might cast a shadow on modern tennis players who perhaps didn’t have to endure the same burdens as women trying to play tennis in the infancy of mainstream American feminism. Instead, I found a tender and intimate portrait of the women’s movement through the lens of tennis. King frames herself
More than that, King’s memoir is a picture of the upheavals for women in the era, firsthand from a woman who helped shape that history. King’s development as a feminist and initial reluctance to use the word is one of the central themes of a book that has unquestionable feminist undertones. They are best summed up in King’s reflection on a conversation she had with Gloria Steinem where she questioned why Steinem wasn’t utilizing more women athletes to push the feminist agenda.
King describes standing in front of a board of 15 people pleading her case for an abortion as the “most degrading thing I’ve ever experienced”
