Donna Lopiano is the executive director
of the Women's Sports Foundation.
Lopiano talks about the remarkable entrepreneurial efforts of Billie
Jean King, who in 1974, at the age of 28 and at the peak of her career,
founded the Women's Sports Foundation, started the Women's
Tennis Association, defeated Bobby Riggs in a much-publicized "battle
of the sexes,” and started Women's Sports Magazine.
The Women's Sports Foundation, a nonprofit organization with
a $6.5 million budget, produces educational materials, awards grants,
attempts to advocate and elevate public consciousness for girl's
sports, and promotes the achievements of women in sports. |
