She believed she could, so she did. These words and others are beautifully expressed in the illustrated work of Becca Cahan. She creates happy pieces of art filled with curvature, color, and patterns. With inspirational messages, She Persisted encourages women to change the world with their courage, persistence, heart, soul, and wisdom.
Chelsea Clinton introduces tiny feminists, mini activists and little kids who are ready to take on the world to 13 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 13 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.
This book tells listeners 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, Maria Tallchief, Claudette Colvin, Ruby Bridges, Margaret Chase Smith, Sally Ride, Florence Griffith Joyner, Oprah Winfrey, Sonia Sotomayor – and one special cameo.
Persist is a lined writing journal whose 162 pages include quotes from women who have persisted and prevailed. Intended to be both inspirational and educational, the 81 women featured in Persist, beginning with Joan of Arc and ending with Malala Yousafzai, were selected to remind us of what is truly important.
The women of Persist, both famous and infamous alike, from Elizabeth Warren, Oprah and Rosa Parks to Grace Hopper, Helen Thomas and Calamity Jane speak to us from a unique historical perspective. Their combined words create a living wisdom.
Why Persist? Why now? Persist strives to give form and substance to what we are too close to recognize. From persistence to resilience, triumph to defeat, elation to heartbreak, the life experiences of these 81 women bear witness to the fact that while circumstances may be challenging, improvements can and will be made, if only we persist. These women’s grace, strength, grit, humility and humor are a testament to the tremendous courage and audacity required to take a stand. Persist challenges us to put their wisdom to work in our lives, our families, in our community, and in our world. To endeavor to leave a mark.
Persist is the first in a series of journals from Quote of Conduct and is available in 4 unique cover designs. These journals offer an invitation to define what you believe in. A deceptively simple call to action. To stand for something and be counted.
