Serena Williams
Another tennis great, Serena Williams is one to use her platform to challenge sexism in sports. With 73 singles titles under her belt, Serena knows no bounds and is not stopping anytime soon. Apart from joining the advisory board of the Billie Jean King Leadership initiative with her sister Venus, Serena has been openly fighting and calling attention to the gender pay gap. In an essay published in 2017, Serena tackled issues that concerned pay and black women. Image source: USA Today
Abby Wambach
Wambach definitely isn’t afraid to speak her mind about social issues surrounding society. A two-time Olympic Gold Medalist and a FIFA Women’s World Cup Champion, Abby Wambach is one to be reckoned with. While her achievements and successes in the field should be recognized, Abby points society to her pressing advocacy; equal pay. Having retired without much savings due to gender discrimination and disparity pay, the former athlete is now focusing her efforts on raising awareness on the existing gender pay gap and telling the media to highlight women’s successes as well.
