Battle of the Sexes movie costumes on display...

With all the #MeToo, Time's Up and Women's March initiatives in recent months, it's also important to acknowledgment the women who fought for female equality in the past, like Billie Jean King (played by Emma Stone) and her teammates in the tennis industry in the 1970s. In last year's Battle of the Sexes, the film explores her sexual awakening as a lesbian and her infamous televised 1973 tennis match between the tennis champion and the ex-men's champ and serial hustler 'Bobby Riggs' (Steve Carell).
