- content: Chelsea Clinton warmly narrates these biographies aimed at tiny feminists, inspired by the tenacity of Senator Warren on the Senate floor in early 2017. Thirteen determined American women from the present and from history, including Nellie Bly, Helen Keller, Maria Tallchief, Sally Ride, and Sonia Sotomayor, are honored with short biographies and quotes that exemplify their persistence. Each story gives listeners the opportunity to discover a new role model, thereby motivating future astronauts, senators, ballerinas, and presidents to persevere and achieve their goals despite obstacles and naysayers. Clinton narrates enthusiastically, and accompanying music adds to the inspirational tone of each biography. E.E.C. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine
