{"product_id":"9780241988459","title":"All In - An Autobiography","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn intimate self-portrait encompassing the life, times, and career of one of the most transformative individuals--let alone athletes--of recent times.\u003cbr\u003eJourneying from a blue-collar childhood to shatter tennis's exclusive country-club culture, Billie Jean King paved the way for a more open, inclusive, and equal sports environment. In her memoir, she takes us behind the scenes of the pro tennis tour, through her five years as the top-ranked woman in the world, her twenty Wimbledon championships, her thirty-nine grand-slam titles, and her watershed defeat of Bobby Riggs in the famous 'Battle of the Sexes.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith her ever-present candour, King also describes the high personal price of public greatness. We see how she struggled to live authentically and the challenges she grappled with beneath the mask of fame, including entrenched sexism, an eating disorder and struggles with her sexual identity until her 'outing' by a former lover led her to embrace her true self. We come to understand how, through it all, her unshakeable integrity, resilience, and sense of purpose allowed her time and again to overcome her obstacles, and, at a few dire moments, to rebound from near ruin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHers is the story of a pathbreaking fighter for equality, world-class athlete, and an indomitable spirit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou might also like..\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Billie+Jean+King\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eBillie Jean King\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Billie Jean King","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47379377782947,"sku":"9780241988459","price":370.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9780241988459_ca4e1d73-b838-4224-ad7f-6d957029249f.jpg?v=1776469417","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9780241988459","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
