Groundbreakers

Billie Jean King and seven icons on the past, present, and future of women’s sports. CORRECTION (Dec. 8, 2023): This program mistakenly refers to two events of the women’s heptathlon as the 60-meter and 1,000-meter run. The program should have referred instead to the 200-meter dash and 800-meter run in which Jackie Joyner-Kersee participated as part of the women’s heptathlon.
