"Terrific memoir, grab yourself a copy"- Paula Poundstone reacts to Billie Jean King's autobiography

American stand-up comedian Paula Poundstone shared her thoughts on Billie Jean King's autobiography, titled "All In: An Autobiography," which was released a year ago.

The tennis legend's life is vividly described in the book. It is a moving and personal self-portrait of King that highlights her accomplishments, activism, and dedication to social justice. It gives readers a better understanding of her on-court and off-court affairs.

Two days ago, the autobiography completed its first anniversary, King took to Twitter to show her gratitude towards those who had assisted her in writing and publishing the book.

"One year ago yesterday, my memoir, All In, was released. Thank you to each person who helped me research, write, and publish the book. No one succeeds alone," King tweeted.

In light of this, Poundstone, who happens to be an actor, author and commentator as well, retweeted the 12-time Grand Slam winner's post and shared her review. The memoir was called "terrific" by Poundstone, who advised readers not to miss out on such a masterpiece.

"I read it. Grab yourslef a copy. It is a terrific memoir, because Billie Jean King has lived an inspiring life," Poundstone wrote.

Billie Jean King -- a name that needs no introduction -- has won Wimbledon a whopping 11 times, the US Open on four occasions, and the French Open and US Open once each. She also maintained the No.1 ranking for five years (1967–1968, 1971–1972, and 1974).

In addition to her accomplishments on the court, she has long been a trailblazer for social justice and gender equality.
