Nevertheless, she persisted … writing children’s books, that is.
Chelsea Clinton announced Tuesday afternoon that she will publish a companion volume to her picture book She Persisted: 13 American Women Who Changed the World. The new book, She Persisted Around the World, will have a more global emphasis, featuring the stories of 13 international women who shaped history.
The former first daughter revealed the news on Twitter, along with an image of the cover. “Thrilled to announce She Persisted Around the World, a picture book celebrating 13 incredible women who overcame adversity to change our world for the better,” she wrote.
As with the first book in this series, Alexandra Boiger will provide illustrations.
According to publisher Penguin Random House, the women to be featured in the new book are Marie Curie, Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, Viola Desmond, Sissi do Amor Lima, Leymah Gbowee, Caroline Herschel, Wangari Maathai, Aisha Rateb, J.K. Rowling, Kate Sheppard, Yuan Yuan Tan, Mary Verghese, and Malala Yousafzai.
Clinton’s first She Persisted book focused on American women, telling the stories of 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, and Sonia Sotomayor.

Gosh darn, She must be a really good writer to have a book accepted for publishing. I wrote a book, too, but it was turned down. She must be a better writer than me.
Dunno about that but......She certainly isn’t getting ahead in life based on her looks.

Don’t be so tough on yourself. Maybe she just had a better illustrator. Yep, that’s probably it.
If she wrote this book about women who have bettered the world,then some of those names are much in question. Of course,I guess this was about only 13 of them,so maybe some of the real stinkers are not mentioned. Not saying that all of them are poor choices,but just SOME of them.
Maybe you need to change your last name.
I see two familiar names but no more (Curie and Rowling) - can’t say I’ve ever read anything by Rowling but don’t think I’ve missed much.
Why don’t you cease and desist Ms Hubbell?
A good title suggestion for a book about Manning has already been used.
