Комптон, 1988 год. Отец пяти дочерей Ричард Уильямс уже давно составил подробный план на будущее своих девочек и упорно ему следует, а из восьмилетней Винус и семилетней Серены он намеревается сделать звёзд тенниса. Хотя Ричард с женой Брэнди мало что понимают в подготовке профессиональных теннисистов, они сами тренировали дочек и как могли ставили им технику.

In a stunning case that captured the European public beginning in 2005, Williams challenged the long-held practice of paying women tennis players less than their male counterparts at Wimbledon. With a deep sense of obligation to the legacy of Billie Jean King, Williams lobbied British Parliament, UNESCO and Fleet Street for financial parity. And it was her poignant op-ed piece in The London Times that convinced many people that the Wimbledon tournament organizers were "on the wrong side of history." Roland Garros and Wimbledon finally relented in 2007. That year at Wimbledon, Venus became the first women's champion to earn as much as the men's singles winner (Roger Federer). VENUS VS. chronicles Williams' fight for pay equality.
