From Chelsea Clinton and Alexandra Boiger, the #1 New York Times bestselling duo behind She Persisted, comes a new book celebrating women athletes who have triumphed against the odds, perfectly timed for the Olympics. Throughout history, women have been told they couldn't achieve their dreams, facing unique challenges in various sports. In this third installment, Clinton introduces readers to women who excelled through persistence. This book resonates with anyone who has ever aimed for a seemingly unattainable goal, raced toward a distant finish line, or felt insignificant on the field. Boiger's vibrant illustrations enhance the inspiring narrative, demonstrating that, regardless of obstacles, everyone has the power to persist and succeed. Featured athletes include Margaret Ives Abbott, Gertrude Ederle, Mildred Babe Didrikson Zaharias, Wilma Rudolph, Jean Driscoll, Mia Hamm and the 1996 Olympic soccer team, Kristi Yamaguchi, Venus and Serena Williams, Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh Jennings, Diana Taurasi, Simone Biles, Ibtihaj Muhammad, and Jocelyne and Monique Lamoureux.
