Inspired by the #1 New York Times bestseller She Persisted by
Chelsea Clinton and Alexandra Boiger, a chapter book series about women
who stood up, spoke up and rose up against the odds!
In this chapter book biography by bestselling and award-winning author
Andrea Davis Pinkney, readers learn about the amazing life of Harriet
Tubman--and how she persisted.
Born enslaved, Harriet Tubman rose up to become one of the most
successful, determined and well-known conductors of the Underground
Railroad. With her family's love planted firmly in her heart, Harriet
looked to the North Star for guidance--and its light helped guide her
way out of slavery. Her courage made it possible for her to help others
reach freedom too.
Complete with an introduction from Chelsea Clinton, black-and-white
illustrations throughout, and a list of ways that readers can follow in
Harriet Tubman's footsteps and make a difference! A perfect choice for
kids who love learning and teachers who want to bring inspiring women
into their curriculum.

featuring so many more women who persisted, including Claudette Colvin,
Ruby Bridges, Oprah Winfrey, and more!
