More than a biography, Serena Williams: Tennis Champion, Sports Legend, and Cultural Heroine not only tells the story of her upbringing and remarkable career but also looks at Williams as a sports pioneer. Merlisa Lawrence Corbett explores Williams’ influence on cultural and political issues such as body shaming, gender equality, and racism in sports and society. Corbett also analyzes Williams’ impact on discussions of feminism, the sports celebrity, and the marketing of female athletes.

The style feels a bit like a high school essay but the content is so moving that it's so easy to get past that! It is biographical, after all; it definitely made my long haul flight feel like a breeze, and I now have more of a well-rounded view of Serena!
