Billie Jean King Inspiring Women Doll

Born in Long Beach, California, Billie Jean King grew up playing tennis and sharpening her skills at local public parks. In 1961, she won her first major championship title, followed by a series of spectacular victories throughout her legendary career. Off the court, Billie Jean King tirelessly championed women's equality in sports. In 1973, during a globally televised match hailed as the Battle of the Sexes, millions of viewers watched as Billie Jean King defeated a formidable male rival and proved a woman's place was hers to decide.

This 12-inch doll from Barbie's Inspiring Women line is sculpted to King's likeness and is fully poseable for lots of play or display possibilities. She comes wearing a two tone blue and mint green tennis dress inspired by what she wore during her legendary match, as well as blue tennis shoes; a Wilson racket and a tennis ball mean she's ready to play! This set includes the doll, a doll stand, and a Certificate of Authenticity.
