| book description |

Throughout history, women have been told that science isnâ€™t for them. Theyâ€™ve been told that theyâ€™re not smart enough, or that their brains just arenâ€™t able to handle it. In this book, Chelsea Clinton introduces readers to women scientists who didnâ€™t listen to those who told them â€œNoâ€ and who used their smarts, their skills and their persistence to discover, invent, create and explain. She Persisted in Science is for everyone whoâ€™s ever had questions about the world around them or the way things work, and who wonâ€™t give up until they find their answers. With engaging artwork by Alexandra Boiger accompanying the inspiring text, this is a book that shows readers that everyone has the potential to make a difference, and that women in science change our world. This book features: Florence Nightingale, Rebecca Lee Crumpler, Ynes Enriquetta Julietta Mexia, Grace Hopper, Rosalind Franklin, Gladys West, Jane Goodall, Flossie Wong-Staal, Temple Grandin, Zaha Hadid, Ellen Ochoa, Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha & Mari Copeny, and Autumn Peltier, Greta Thunberg & Wanjiru Wathuti
