She Persisted in Sports: American Olympians Who Changed the Game by Chelsea Clinton
4.0
This is another great outing for the ‘She Persisted’ series. In this book, they share the quick tale of famous female American athletes. they are:
Margaret Ives Abbot - Golf
Gertrude Ederle - swimming English Channel
Mildred “Babe” Didrikson Zaharias - baseball and track
Wilma Rudolph - track
Jean Driscoll - paralympic games - many things
Mia Hamm - Soccer
Kristi Yamaguchi - Skating
Venus & Serena Williams - Tennis
Misty May-Treanor & Kerri Walsh Jennings - Volleyball
Diana Taurasi - Basketball
Simone Biles - Gymnastics
Ibtihaj Muhammad - Fencing
Jocelyne & Monique Lamoureux - Hockey
The common thread of all these women is they all worked hard, they never listened to the naysayers and they fiercely believed in themselves. They are indeed good role models and it’s an inspiring book. It’s great to see some of these names.
The artwork seems a little simple, but it’s fine.
