Suffering centuries of exploitation
Gathered courage and determination
O! King! You have proved
That queen can have upper - hand...
With a stroke of tennis racket
Showed the meaning of women empowerment
And trampled the chauvinistic male
Smashing his ego leaving him pale...!
A historic battle
That made the world rattle
And gave sportswomen
Fighting spirit and resolve stern...!
(Salutes to 'Billie Jean King ' who won a ' resounding ' victory on chauvinism)
