Chelsea Clinton was raised by one of American history’s most influential women. Now, she is honoring some of the many other female pioneers who paved the way for women in politics and more. According to Entertainment Weekly, Clinton is slated to release a children’s picture book titled She Persisted, an homage to 13 American women who overcame personal and societal hurdles to achieve their dreams, including Harriet Tubman, Maria Tallchief, Claudette Colvin, Oprah Winfrey and Sonia Sotomayor. Clinton’s title recalls the now-iconic words used by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) as he attempted to silence Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) Warren was giving a lengthy speech,” McConnell said later, when describing the evening’s events.
