Inspired by the #1 New York Times bestseller She Persisted by
Chelsea Clinton and Alexandra Boiger, a chapter book series about women
who spoke up and rose up against the odds--including Maya Lin!
Maya Lin is known throughout the world as the creator of the Vietnam
Veterans Memorial in Washington, DC. But many people objected to her
gender, age, race, and more when she was chosen to design the memorial.
Still, she persisted, and her design stands out today as one of the most
memorable monuments in the country.
In this chapter book biography by bestselling and award-winning author
Grace Lin, readers learn about the amazing life of Maya Lin--and how
she persisted.
Complete with an introduction from Chelsea Clinton, black-and-white
illustrations throughout, and a list of ways that readers can follow in
Maya Lin'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.
And don't miss out on the rest of the books in the She Persisted series,
featuring so many more women who persisted, including Patsy Mink, Maria
Tallchief, and more!
