Sports Gazette: Althea: The Life of Tennis Champion Althea Gibson by Sally H. Jacobs
“Althea Gibson’s legacy is complex and largely forgotten.… In Althea: The Life of Tennis Champion Althea Gibson, Sally H. Jacobs meticulously unravels the mystery so delicately attached to the woman that placed the tennis racket into the hands of the Williams sisters.
Jacobs presents a truly sensitive chronicle, within which she dissects the complicated life of a conflicted woman, apathetic of the society she was reluctantly destined to represent. ”
