Description

Chelsea Clinton introduces readers to women who have excelled in their sports because of their persistence. This inspiring text shows that, no matter what obstacles come their way, they have the power to persist and succeed. Throughout history, women athletes have faced unique challenges across countless sports and levels of play. In this book, Alexandra Boiger's vibrant artwork accompanies a story of overcoming adversity and achieving greatness. The featured women include trailblazers such as Margaret Ives Abbott, Gertrude Ederle, Mildred "Babe" Didrikson Zaharias, Wilma Rudolph, Jean Driscoll, Mia Hamm, Kristi Yamaguchi, Venus and Serena Williams, Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh Jennings, Diana Taurasi, Simone Biles, Ibtihaj Muhammad and Jocelyne and Monique Lamoureux. A reminder that with perseverance, girls can be athletes-or whatever else they choose.
