About this Quote

This quote by Billie Jean King highlights the reality that women's sports is still relatively new in the United States. The passage of Title 9 in 1972 was a significant turning point in the history of women's sports, as it allowed women to finally get athletic scholarships. This was a major step forward in terms of gender equality, as it enabled female professional athletes to receive the same opportunities as their male equivalents. In spite of this progress, females's sports is still in its infancy, and there is still a long method to go in terms of attaining true gender equality in sports. Women's sports still deal with lots of difficulties, such as unequal pay and lack of media coverage, and it is very important that we continue to fight for gender equality in sports.
