She Persisted: 13 American Women Who Changed the World by Chelsea Clinton

2.0

I was hoping for more! This book has fantastic illustrations and the women chosen are certainly worthy of being studied and emulated. However, the text reads like a Wikipedia entry - a short Wikipedia entry - it's just not inspiring at all. I love the idea of this book, but the execution itself just fell flat. There's no inspiring narrative, no explanation of how these women achieved their dreams, just a short listing of facts that's pretty boring to tell the truth. Sigh. Two stars instead of one because the illustrations were nice.
