She Persisted by Chelsea Clinton

5.0

Chelsea Clinton, herself someone to be admired, chose 13 really interesting women to inspire the young girls of today. Each double page consists of a short, informative piece about each woman's accomplishment/s, a quote from her, and an illustration of her "in action." It was fun to turn each page and anticipate who would be the next person included. If you, too, would like to anticipate the thirteen persistent women, read no further. The are: Harriet Tubman, Helen Keller, Clara Lemlich, Nellie Bly, Virginia Apgar, Mari Tallchief, Claudette Colvin, Ruby Bridges, Margaret Chase Smith, Sally Ride, Florence Griffith Joyner, Oprah Winfrey, and Sonia Sotomayer. (I would then include Gabby Giffords.) Great book.
