Title: Serving Herself: The Life and Times of Althea Gibson

Author: Ashley Brown

Narrator: Karen Chilton

Format: Unabridged

Length: 24:04:38

Language: English

Release date: 04-11-23

Publisher: Recorded Books

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Sports, Women

Summary:

From her start playing paddle tennis on the streets of Harlem as a young teenager to her eleven Grand Slam tennis wins to her professional golf career, Althea Gibson became the most famous Black sportswoman of the mid-twentieth century. In her unprecedented athletic career, she was the first

African American to win titles at the French Open, Wimbledon, and the U.S. Open.

In this first full-scale biography, Ashley Brown narrates the public career and private struggles of Althea Gibson (19272003). Based on extensive archival work and oral histories, Serving Herself sets Gibsons life and choices against the backdrop of the Great Migration, Jim Crow racism, the integration

of American sports, the civil rights movement, the Cold War, and second wave feminism.

Throughout her life Gibson continuously negotiated the expectations of her supporters and adversaries, including her patrons in the Black-led American Tennis Association, the white-led United States Lawn Tennis Association, and the media, particularly the Black press and communitys expectations that she

selflessly serve as a representative of her race. An incredibly talented, ultracompetitive, and not always likeable athlete, Gibson wanted to be treated as an individual first and foremost, not as a member of a specific race or gender. She was reluctant to speak openly about the indignities and prejudices she navigated

as an African American woman, though she faced numerous institutional and societal barriers in achieving her goals. She frequently bucked conventional normsof femininity and put her career ahead of romantic relationships, making her personal life the subject of constant scrutiny and rumors. Despite her major wins

and international recognition, including a ticker-tape parade in New York City and the covers of Sports Illustrated and Time, Gibson endeavored to find commercial sponsorship and permanent economic stability. Committed to self-sufficiency, she pivoted from the elite amateur tennis circuit to State Departmentsponsored

goodwill tours, attempts to find success as a singer and Hollywood actress, the professional golf circuit, a tour with the Harlem Globetrotters and her own professional tennis tour, coaching, teaching children at tennis clinics, and a stint as New Jersey Athletics Commissioner. As she struggled to support herself in old

age, she was left with disappointment, recounting her past achievements decades before female tennis players were able to garner substantial earnings.

A compelling life and times portrait, Serving Herself offers a revealing look at the rise and fall of a fiercely independent trailblazer who satisfied her own needs and simultaneously set a pathbreaking course for Black athletes.
