Tennis legend and equal-rights activist Billie Jean will be hosting the latest episode of PBS’s Groundbreakers, a series that celebrates the remarkable achievements of female athletes in the US. The two-hour-long show pairs veterans with up-and-coming athletes, like track and field champion Jackie Joyner-Kersee and Grand Slam winner Naomi Osaka, for instance, and lets us in on their conversations about women’s longstanding struggles and incredible (albeit overlooked) feats in sports.
