Penguin Young Readers has announced plans to publish a companion book to activist and former First Daughter Chelsea Clinton’s bestselling nonfiction picture book, She Persisted: 13 American Women Who Changed the World. The collective biography, She Persisted Around the World: 13 Women Who Changed History, will be released on March 6, 2018. Alexandra Boiger, who illustrated She Persisted, will provide the artwork.
Both books take their titles from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s now-famous critique of Senator Elizabeth Warren—“She was warned. Nevertheless, she persisted”—when she tried to read Coretta Scott King’s words on the floor of the Senate. The incident took place during the confirmation hearings for Attorney General Jeff Sessions in February.
The new book will pay tribute to 13 women who have made a global impact, including Marie Curie, Sor Juana Inés 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. Penguin has announced a first printing of 250,000 copies.
Clinton said in a statement, “She Persisted Around the World celebrates 13 women who overcame adversity to change the course of history across the globe. Inspired by the overwhelming response from young readers to the stories of the 13 American women shared in She Persisted, I decided to write She Persisted Around the World and hope these incredible women’s stories further empower kids to use their voices and dreams to positively shape the world around them and our shared future.”
Possible Titles:
‘Depends’: Size Charts
She Flatulated
Persistent Loser
How To Make Enemies And Influence No One

What real job has she ever held? What accomplishments does she have?

Either someone will retire, or else someone will have a hang-gliding accident. It's mostly a question of how patient Chelsea decides to be.
‘shes still hanging around, even with her ripped shoes’
“To err is human, to forgive divine, to persist devilish.”Still trying to make vice into virtue; typical of the left.

Chelsea Hubble’s third book in 2019 can be about her biological mother - “She was Prosecuted”.
She Fell Down And Went Boom
She Fell Down And Went Boom
It’s a payoff in anticipation of her winning office in the future. There are now at least three ways for politicians or potential politicians to legally receive graft: 1)book advances; 2) speeches and 3)Charitable foundations. They are legal money laundries.
Fleecing America. Accomplished? Damn she was good...
She’s “the one who gets away with it...”
I think it’s funny, that Chelsea omitted Hillary Clinton from her list of women who have changed the world. Just an observation. Did she think people would think that she was just writing in honor of her mother if she had included Hillary?
$100 million worth of pre-order copies already sold in Russia!
She wouldn’t go away
The ownership of Penguin should ring a bell.
She Cashed In.
She Lost Touch With Reality.
She Doesn’t Have Job Now That Mommy Isn’t President.
