I sjette episode fortæller vi om tennislegenden, Billie Jean King. Hun vandt utallige trofæer, imens hun kæmpede for ligeløn i tennis, stiftede WTA-touren og vandt den ikoniske "Battle of the Sexes"-tenniskamp over Bobby Riggs. Hun satte gentagne gange sin karriere på spil for at revolutionere den sport, som hun elskede.Kilder:Game, Set, Match: Billie Jean King and the Revolution in Women's Sports af Susan Warehttps://www.espn.com/sportscentury/features/00016060.htmlhttps://theundefeated.com/features/in-battle-of-the-sexes-billie-jean-king-was-undefeated/https://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/25/magazine/plays-tennis-like-a-man-speaks-out-like-billie-jean-king.htmlhttps://vault.si.com/vault/1975/05/19/mrs-billie-jean-kinghttps://www.bustle.com/p/the-history-of-tennis-original-9-the-equal-pay-movement-in-sports-18795697https://www.theplayerstribune.com/articles/billie-jean-king-women-tennis-history-original-9https://www.nytimes.com/1981/04/30/us/billie-jean-king-is-sued-for-assets-over-alleged-lesbian-relationship.html
