She Persisted in Sports: American Olympians Who Changed the Game by Chelsea Clinton

4.0

Sixteen women are featured in this new "She Persisted" book, written by Chelsea Clinton and illustrated by Alexandra Boiger. Not only did these amazing women have to fight hard due to their sex, but they faced such things as: being hard of hearing (from measles), growing up in leg brace after surviving polio, being born with spina bifida and confined to wheelchair, being born with clubfoot, competing while pregnant, and facing rampant racism.
