Great Moments in Women’s Sports

Wimbledon’s ground-breaking announcement last week for equal prize money for its men’s and women’s champions is one of Sports Illustrated’s landmark moments in women’s sports history. On its Web site, SI takes a photographic look at other milestones in women’s sports. Other top events include the U.S. women’s soccer team winning the World Cup, the launch of the WNBA, the famous “Battle of the Sexes” between Billie Jean King and Bobbie Riggs, and the ruling allowing women reporters in the locker room.
