The companion to Chelsea Clinton & Alexandra Boiger's #1 New
York Times bestseller, She Persisted. Perfect for tiny activists,
mini feminists and little kids who are ready to take on the world.
Women around the world have long dreamed big, even when they've
been told their dreams didn't matter. They've spoken out, risen up
and fought for what's right, even when they've been told to be
quiet. Whether in science, the arts, sports or activism, women and
girls throughout history have been determined to break barriers and
change the status quo. They haven't let anyone get in their way and
have helped us better understand our world and what's possible. In
this companion book to She Persisted: 13 American Women Who Changed
the World, Chelsea Clinton introduces readers to a group of
thirteen incredible women who have shaped history all across the
globe. She Persisted Around the World is a book for everyone who
has ever aimed high and been told to step down, for everyone who
has ever raised their voice and been told to quiet down, and for
everyone who has ever felt small, unimportant or unworthy.

their way, they have the power to persist and succeed. This book
