Chelsea Clinton, the daughter of former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former U.S. President Bill Clinton, announced her new children’s book featuring 13 inspirational women in American history. The name of the book, “She Persisted”, reflects a statement made by Mitch McConnell, the Republican Senate majority leader, in February 2017 after Republican senators voted to formally silence Senator Elizabeth Warren, Democrat of Massachusetts, as she was reading a 1986 Coretta Scott King letter criticizing Senator Jeff Sessions’s civil rights record.
