Wether its in the arts, politics, sports, activism or science, the thirteen women featured in this book achieved amazing goals. The companion book to 'She Persisted', this book is truly inspiring, touching and just plain awesome. Told in a concise but empowering tone, this book is for children but should be read by everyone. In doing so, they paved the way for the women that came after them. 'She Persisted Around the World' captures the journey of thirteen such women that despite being told no went on to achieve significant change for themselves. Women have struggled to overcome biased and unjust restrictions globally. I plan on sharing this with my nephews because I want them to look at all the women in their lives, all of us who have taken different but equally important paths, and say 'she persisted.' I want them to be the best kind of feminist because they are already the best kind of boys-my boys. The earlier they are introduced to the amazing abilities of women, the earlier equality can be introduced and nurtured.

While you're reading this, share it also with little boys in your life. The artwork by Alexandra Boiger is lovely and shows these women not only as themselves, but as their younger selves, striving to reach higher goals they were told weren't available to them. Clinton does a simply beautiful job introducing 13 diverse women who stood up to discouragement based on their gender and succeeded in long-lasting ways. I think my review for the other one said it all, so I'm just going to paste that here:ĭo you know a little girl? Are you a little girl? Does someone you know know a little girl? If so, tell them about this book. My niece enjoyed this book, although I don't know that she understand the importance as she thinks girls can do anything already. I would like to be someone who persists all the time when it is important. I am someone who lets at times lets 'no' from the outside affect me and sometimes I don't. I didn't know all these women and I'm glad I know of them now. It's time women can be anything they are meant to be. It's time to get rid of all the glass ceilings. Some of these women faced death threats to learn. Listen to who you were meant to be and stand up.

It's so important to have a message for girls in the world that says, don't listen to societies 'no'.

I might love it more than the 1st one about American women.
