Chelesa Clinton has a new children’s book out and it’s called “She Persisted.” Complete with illustrations, the book is supposed to be read by so-called “tiny feminists,” according to Amazon:
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.
The book takes it’s name from Senator Elizabeth Warren breaking the rules of the U.S. Senate after being silenced by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).
Which women are featured in the book? The list is: 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.
But the images that are available online show something odd. Look at the image (below). In this museum, the image of Hillary Clinton is far larger than of the true historical icons, including Rosa Parks.
This is outrageous:
Doesn’t that red pant suit look familiar?
Chelesa Clinton admitted in a recent interview that the book does include a photo of her Mom, next to anti-slavery civil rights icons:
“This is the opening spread of She Persisted and it is particularly special to me, because it shows all of the women whose stories I share in the book and because it includes a portrait of my mom,” Clinton told POPSUGAR Moms over email.
There is truly no limit to how large the Clinton ego is. Thank goodness Hillary Clinton isn’t in the White House.
