About this audiobook
Chelsea Clinton introduces tiny feminists, mini activists and little kids who are ready to take on the world to thirteen inspirational women who never took no for an answer, and who always, inevitably and without fail, persisted.
Throughout American history, there have always been women who have spoken out for what's right, even when they have to fight to be heard. In early 2017, Senator Elizabeth Warren's refusal to be silenced in the Senate inspired a spontaneous celebration of women who persevered in the face of adversity. In this book, Chelsea Clinton celebrates thirteen American women who helped shape our country through their tenacity, sometimes through speaking out, sometimes by staying seated, sometimes by captivating an audience. They all certainly persisted.
She Persisted is for everyone who has ever wanted to speak up but has been told to quiet down, for everyone who has ever tried to reach for the stars but was told to sit down, and for everyone who has ever been made to feel unworthy or unimportant or small.
With vivid, compelling art by Alexandra Boiger, this book shows readers that no matter what obstacles may be in their paths, they shouldn't give up on their dreams. Persistence is power.
This book features: Harriet Tubman, Helen Keller, Clara Lemlich, Nellie Bly, Virginia Apgar, Maria Tallchief, Claudette Colvin, Ruby Bridges, Margaret Chase Smith, Sally Ride, Florence Griffith Joyner, Oprah Winfrey, Sonia Sotomayor--and one special cameo.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5That was the cutest feminist book ever ! I want all the little girls in the world to listen to it ! And don’t forget that your dreams are never too big :)
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5As a child, I devoured biographies. Telling stories of real women helps children grow up with confidence. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of women chosen to illustrate the theme of persistence. It's priceless that this book was inspired by Senator Elizabeth Warren who indeed "persisted," when Senator Mitch McConnell wanted her to shut up! Chelsea Clinton's writing style and narrative voice are excellent.
