It’s our first episode and boy, do we have an awesome woman to talk about.
Resident Emma Stone lookalike Erin Ramsay takes us through the story of Billie Jean King, the formidable tennis player, LGBTQIA+ rights’ activist and feminist.
Things we learnt: people used to think she grunted too loudly, she’s best friends with Elton John, and she was the first woman featured in Sports Illustrated.
Wild.
Get into it.
