Recommendation

Hillary Rodham Clinton and Chelsea Clinton continue in print their decades-long conversation about strong, capable and brave women, both well known and unknown. The women and girls profiled made a difference in their communities and pioneered future opportunities for all women. An encyclopedic catalog of trailblazing women, this bestseller – which both authors acknowledge is far from comprehensive – will educate, inspire and entertain readers with its empowering overview of what women can achieve.

Take-Aways

  • Dorothy Rodham, Hillary Clinton’s mother and first role model, was like the typical 1950s TV mom.
  • Margaret Chase Smith was a groundbreaking member of Congress.
  • Fifty-eight percent of the women who served in the 116th Congress had been Girl Scouts.
