Now an eight-part docuseries on Apple TV+ featuring Kim Kardashian,
Amy Schumer, Goldie Hawn, Kate Hudson, Wanda Sykes, Megan Thee
Stallion and more She couldn't have been more than seven or eight
years old. "Go ahead, ask your question," her father urged, nudging
her forward. She smiled shyly and said, "You're my hero. Who's
yours?" Many people - especially girls - have asked us that same
question over the years. It's one of our favourite topics. HILLARY:
Growing up, I knew hardly any women who worked outside the home. So
I looked to my mother, my teachers, and the pages of Life magazine
for inspiration. After learning that Amelia Earhart kept a
scrapbook with newspaper articles about successful women in
male-dominated jobs, I started a scrapbook of my own. Long after I
stopped clipping articles, I continued to seek out stories of women
who seemed to be redefining what was possible. CHELSEA: This book
is the continuation of a conversation the two of us have been
having since I was little. For me, too, my mom was a hero; so were
my grandmothers. My early teachers were also women. But I grew up
in a world very different from theirs. My pediatrician was a woman,
and so was the first mayor of Little Rock who I remember from my
childhood. Most of my close friends' moms worked outside the home
as nurses, doctors, teachers, professors, and in business. And
women were going into space and breaking records here on Earth.
Ensuring the rights and opportunities of women and girls remains a
big piece of the unfinished business of the twenty-first century.
While there's a lot of work to do, we know that throughout history
and around the globe women have overcome the toughest resistance
imaginable to win victories that have made progress possible for
all of us. That is the achievement of each of the women in this
book. So how did they do it? The answers are as unique as the women
themselves. Civil rights activist Dorothy Height, LGBTQ trailblazer
Edie Windsor, and swimmer Diana Nyad kept pushing forward, no
matter what. Writers like Rachel Carson and Chimamanda Ngozi
Adichie named something no one had dared talk about before.
Historian Mary Beard used wit to open doors that were once closed,
and Wangari Maathai, who sparked a movement to plant trees,
understood the power of role modeling. Harriet Tubman and Malala
Yousafzai looked fear in the face and persevered. Nearly every
single one of these women was fiercely optimistic - they had faith
that their actions could make a difference. And they were right. To
us, they are all gutsy women - leaders with the courage to stand up
to the status quo, ask hard questions, and get the job done. So in
the moments when the long haul seems awfully long, we hope you will
draw strength from these stories. We do. Because if history shows
one thing, it's that the world needs gutsy women.
From the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller She Persisted
comes a beautiful book about the animals who share our planet--and
what we can do to help them survive. Now abridged for tiny
animal activists! Did you know that blue whales are the largest
animals in the world? Or that sea otters wash their paws after
every meal? The world is filled with millions of animal species,
and all of them are unique and special. Many are on the path to
extinction. In this book, Chelsea Clinton introduces young readers
to a selection of endangered animals, sharing what makes them
special, and also what threatens them. Taking readers through the
course of a day, Don't Let Them Disappear talks about rhinos,
tigers, whales, pandas and more, and provides helpful tips on what
we all can do to help prevent these animals from disappearing from
our world entirely. With warm and engaging art by Gianna Marino,
this book is the perfect read for animal-lovers and anyone who
cares about our planet. Praise for Don't Let Them Disappear: "A
winning heads up for younger readers just becoming aware of the
wider natural world." --Kirkus Reviews "An inviting . . . appeal to
care for the planet and its most vulnerable creatures."
--Publishers Weekly
