BJK Collection at New-York Historical Society

Providing global access and awareness to her story of leadership and social impact, the Billie Jean King’s archive collection features some of her captivating objects, including a pair of her Billie Jean King-brand Adidas sneakers from the 1970s, a Ted Tinling dress worn at Wimbledon in 1982, and mementos from the legendary "Battle of the Sexes" match against Bobby Riggs in 1973. The artifacts illuminate King’s athletic career and her place in the broader fight for equality and the larger narrative of women's history.
