Billie Jean King

Billie Jean King
I always liked co-ed events best so we have two men and two women on each team.
Billie Jean King
We have, or have had women presidents or prime ministers in Liberia, Chile, Germany, Great Britain...and yet the US of A still hasn't had a women president. It's just beyond my thinking. Look at Congress.
