Being Myself by Martina Navratilova

Martina writes about many aspects of her life; her early life in Czechoslovakia, the invasion of Prague by the Russians, her dream of playing on the Centre Court at Wimbledon... She was 18 when she left Czechoslovakia to go to America to become a tennis superstar. She vividly describes her tennis career and the women she played against, her relationships with Rita Mae Brown and Judy Nelson, and her friendships and training partnerships with Nancy Lieberman and Sandra Haynie. The book is a fascinating firsthand account from the women’s tennis circuit and an open acknowledgment of her relationships with women.
