Legendary tennis player Billie Jean King details the remarkable history of women’s tennis in this stunning new edition of Yes, We HAVE Come a Long Way!
In celebration of the Women’s Tennis Association’s 50th anniversary, here is an updated and expanded edition of the original We Have Come a Long Way, with more than 150 photographs and 33 years’ worth of stories about inspiring women and their achievements. The book arrives 53 years after King and eight other women players broke with the male tennis establishment and launched their own professional tour.
With this gorgeous, photographically forward, and deeply moving ode to women’s tennis, King will continue the remarkable story in which she has played such an integral role, shedding new light on barriers that were overcome and milestones that were achieved. Women’s tennis today has never been more popular across the globe and, as this book demonstrates, has never been more diverse and inclusive.

An absolutely gorgeous book on the history of Women’s tennis. The clean and bold graphic design pairs beautifully with historic photography to create a stunning visual treat. The book dives into the history and is filled with insights into the female players and the sport. I really enjoyed the book and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it or to give it as a gift.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance reader copy in exchange for my honest review. It was a treat to read!
