內容簡介
雖然現在大部分的人都能夠接受男女平等的觀念,但在現實生活中,男生和女生真的能完全相等嗎?在這本「女力」十足的繪本裡,一開始就開門見山的表示,其實身為一個女生,本來就不是一件容易的事,可能在很多時候,你會受到很多限制,你的夢想可能很容易被潑冷水,原因都只因為妳是「女生」…
但千萬別因為這些阻撓而膽怯,接下來要介紹的13位美國女性,從不把外在的不看好當成結果,反而因為她們堅持於自己的理念,打破了不成文的規定、或是在特定的領域有了成就,有些甚至成為全民的榮耀!
Chelsea Clinton introduces tiny feminists, mini activists and little kids who are ready to take on the world to thirteen inspirational women who never took no for an answer, and who always, inevitably and without fail, persisted. Throughout American history, there have always been women who have spoken out for what's right, even when they have to fight to be heard. In early 2017, Senator Elizabeth Warren's refusal to be silenced in the Senate inspired a spontaneous celebration of women who persevered in the face of adversity. In this book, Chelsea Clinton celebrates thirteen American women who helped shape our country through their tenacity, sometimes through speaking out, sometimes by staying seated, sometimes by captivating an audience. They all certainly persisted. She Persisted is for everyone who has ever wanted to speak up but has been told to quiet down, for everyone who has ever tried to reach for the stars but was told to sit down, and for everyone who has ever been made to feel unworthy or unimportant or small. With vivid, compelling art by Alexandra Boiger, this book shows readers that no matter what obstacles may be in their paths, they shouldn't give up on their dreams. Persistence is power. This book features: 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, Sonia Sotomayor--and one special cameo.
