Chelsea Clinton introduces tiny feminists, mini activists and
little kids who are ready to take on the world to thirteen
inspirational women who never took no for an answer, and who
always, inevitably and without fail, persisted. Throughout United
States history, there have always been women who have spoken out
for what's right, even when they have to fight to be heard. In this
book, Chelsea Clinton celebrates thirteen American women who helped
shape our country through their tenacity, sometimes through
speaking out, sometimes by staying seated, sometimes by captivating
an audience. They all certainly persisted. She Persisted is for
everyone who has ever wanted to speak up but has been told to quiet
down, for everyone who has ever tried to reach for the stars but
was told to sit down, and for everyone who has ever been made to
feel unworthy or unimportant or small. With vivid, compelling art
by Alexandra Boiger, this book shows readers that no matter what
obstacles may be in their paths, they shouldn't give up on their
dreams. Persistence is power. This book features: Harriet Tubman,
Helen Keller, Clara Lemlich, Nellie Bly, Virginia Apgar, Maria
Tallchief, Claudette Colvin, Ruby Bridges, Margaret Chase Smith,
Sally Ride, Florence Griffith Joyner, Oprah Winfrey, Sonia
Sotomayor-and one special cameo. Praise for She Persisted: "[A]
lovely, moving work of children's literature [and a] polished
introduction to a diverse and accomplished group of women."
-Publishers Weekly, starred review "Exemplary . . . This
well-curated list will show children that women's voices have made
themselves emphatically heard." -Booklist "[She Persisted] will
remind little girls that they can achieve their goals if they don't
let obstacles get in the way." -Family Circle "We can't wait to
grab a copy for some of the awesome kids in our lives . . . and
maybe some of the grown-ups, too." -Bustle "A message we all need
to hear." -Scary Mommy "This will be a great read for kids
(especially young girls)." -Romper "We cannot wait for the launch
of Smart Girl Chelsea Clinton's new book to help remind kids
everywhere that the fearlessness that characterizes the thirteen
women in the book is what has emboldened us to constantly strive
for progress and justice." -Amy Poehler's Smart Girls
