Summary: This story reviews the highlights of Billie Jean King's career in tennis and and social activism. But King was a popular culture icon who was larger than sports.  Women and many minorities who suffered discrimination are still very aware of the contribution she made.  And people who admired athletics and activism hold her in very high esteem and like to talk about her. But sometimes you can turn from a conversation about her to a conversation about the participants and how her work impacted many, many Americans.
