Venus Williams Pens Touching Letter On Gender Equality In Vogue Magazine

Venus Williams has written a touching piece on gender equality in Vogue magazine. Read the full article via the link above.

It wasn’t until 2007 when I became a four-time Wimbledon champion that I received equal prize money to my male counterparts—the first woman to do so.
