From the 1973 “Battle of the Sexes” to Venus Williams’ historic push at Wimbledon, women athletes have fought tirelessly for equal pay. In this episode of Sportly, host Kavitha Davidson explores how Billie Jean King, the “Original 9,” and Venus Williams challenged tennis’ biggest institutions and how their activism paved the way for equal prize money at all four Grand Slams. But the fight didn’t stop there. Kavitha also traces the movement beyond tennis, from the US Women’s National Team’s lawsuit against U.S. Soccer to the WNBA players’ demand for fair revenue sharing. Tune in as the episode uncovers the victories, setbacks, and ongoing battles shaping the future of pay equity in sports.
