You can follow Alexandra on Instagram @alexandra_boiger.Dear Reader,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs Sally Ride and Marian Wright Edelman both powerfully said, “You can’t be what you can’t see.” When Sally Ride said that, she meant that it was hard to dream of being an astronaut, like she was, or a doctor or an athlete or anything at all if you didn’t see someone like you who already had lived that dream. She especially was talking about seeing women in jobs that historically were held by men. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI wrote the first \u003ci\u003eShe Persisted\u003c\/i\u003e and the books that came after it because I wanted young girls—and children of all genders—to see women who worked hard to live their dreams. And I wanted all of us to see examples of persistence in the face of different challenges to help inspire us in our own lives. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI’m so thrilled now to partner with a sisterhood of writers to bring longer, more in-depth versions of these stories of women’s persistence and achievement to readers. I hope you enjoy these chapter books as much as I do and find them inspiring and empowering. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd remember: If anyone ever tells you no, if anyone ever says your voice isn’t important or your dreams are too big, remember these women. They persisted and so should you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWarmly,\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChelsea Clinton\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTABLE OF CONTENTS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1: Bright-Eyed Girl \u003cbr\u003eChapter 2: The North Star’s Diamond Light \u003cbr\u003eChapter 3: Dreams of Freedom\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4: Bound for the Promised Land\u003cbr\u003eChapter 5: The Woman Called Moses \u003cbr\u003eChapter 6: The Power of Progress \u003cbr\u003eHow You Can Persist\u003cbr\u003eReferences \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBright-Eyed Girl\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen  Harriet  Green  gave  birth  to  her daughter, she held that baby close, whispered  a  sweet  hello,  and  loved  the  child  with  all her  heart.  The  newborn’s  father,  Benjamin  Ross, most  likely  cradled  his  tiny  daughter.  He  was  as proud as any daddy could be.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe  baby  was  born  on  a  night  so  dark,  you couldn’t see past its black. But the light in that child’s eyes  was  brighter  than  bright.  She  had  a  twinkle about  her  that  shone  like  the  sky’s  prettiest  stars.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNobody  knows  the  exact  date  this  bright-eyed  girl  came  into  the  world.  She  was  born  at a  time  when  not  everyone  recorded  birthdays.  It was  sometime  between  1820  and  1822.  Though no one remembers the precise year, one thing’s for certain:  this  girl  grew  up  to  become  a  great  lady whose  bravery  and  grit  persisted  her  whole  life, and inspired others to follow.","brand":"Philomel Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46301147103461,"sku":"NP9780593115664","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780593115664.jpg?v=1767736494","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/she-persisted-harriet-tubman-isbn-9780593115664","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
