Chelsea Clinton delivers remarks on the fourth day of the Democratic National Convention at the Wells Fargo Center on July 28, 2016 in Philadelphia. Paul Morigi—WireImage by [Nivea Serrao / Entertainment Weekly](https://time.com/author/entertainment-weekly/) ## Nivea Serrao / Entertainment Weekly Mar 16, 2017 2:41 PM UTC Count Chelsea Clinton among the many people whom Elizabeth Warren inspired when she [refused to be silenced](http://ew.com/tv/2017/02/09/elizabeth-warren-wants-everyone-to-read-coretta-scott-kings-letter/) in the Senate. Clinton, the daughter of former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former U.S. President Bill Clinton, is writing a new children’s picture book showcasing inspirational women in American history, EW can exclusively announce. The book is titled _She Persisted_ — a callback to [Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s defense](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2017/02/08/nevertheless-she-persisted-becomes-new-battle-cry-after-mcconnell-silences-elizabeth-warren/?utm%5Fterm=.ec34b4647559) after the Senate silenced Warren. Illustrated by Alexandra Boiger (_Max and Marla_), _She Persisted_ will tell the stories of 13 women who overcame immense opposition to achieve their goals. The 13 women include [Harriet Tubman](http://ew.com/movies/2017/02/08/cynthia-erivo-harriet-tubman-biopic/), Helen Keller, Nellie Bly, Maria Tallchief, Claudette Colvin, Clara Lemlich, Ruby Bridges, Margaret Chase Smith, [Sally Ride](http://ew.com/books/hidden-figures-books/), Florence Griffith Joyner, [Oprah Winfrey](http://ew.com/tv/2017/02/10/oprah-winfrey-60-minutes/), and Sonia Sotomayor. The picture book will also feature a cameo by another important female figure. (We’ve got a pretty good guess as to who _this_ candidate might be…) “I wrote this book for everyone who’s ever wanted to speak up but has been told to quiet down, for everyone who’s ever been made to feel less than,” said Clinton, the author of _It’s Your World: Get Informed, Get Inspired & Get Going_, in a statement. “The 13 women in _She Persisted_ all overcame adversity to help shape our country—sometimes through speaking out, sometimes by staying seated, sometimes by captivating an audience. With this book, I want to send a message to young readers around the country—and the world—that persistence is power.”  Courtesy Chelsea Clinton _She Persisted_ hits bookstores on May 30\.
