Women athletes have faced their own unique set of challenges, across countless sports and levels of play. In this third She Persisted book, Chelsea Clinton introduces readers to women who have excelled in their sports because of their persistence. She Persisted in Sports is a book for everyone who has ever aimed for a goal and been told it wasn't theirs to hit, for everyone who has ever raced for a finish line that seemed all too far away, and for everyone who has ever felt small or unimportant while out on the field. Alexandra Boiger's vibrant artwork accompanies this inspiring text that shows readers of all ages that, no matter what obstacles come their way, they have the power to persist and succeed. This book features: Margaret Ives Abbott, Gertrude Ederle, Mildred "Babe" Didrikson Zaharias, Wilma Rudolph, Jean Driscoll, Mia Hamm (and the 1996 Olympic soccer team), Kristi Yamaguchi, Venus and Serena Williams, Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh Jennings, Diana Taurasi, Simone Biles, Ibtihaj Muhammad and Jocelyne and Monique Lamoureux. 600 10 Abbott, Margaret Ives,|d1878-1955|vJuvenile literature. 600 10 Ederle, Gertrude,|d1906-2003|vJuvenile literature. 600 10 Zaharias, Babe Didrikson,|d1911-1956|vJuvenile literature. 600 10 Rudolph, Wilma,|d1940-1994|vJuvenile literature. 600 10 Driscoll, Jean,|d1966-|vJuvenile literature. 600 10 Hamm, Mia,|d1972-|vJuvenile literature. 600 10 Yamaguchi, Kristi|vJuvenile literature. 600 10 Williams, Venus,|d1980-|vJuvenile literature. 600 10 Williams, Serena,|d1981-|vJuvenile literature. 600 10 May-Treanor, Misty|vJuvenile literature. 600 10 Walsh Jennings, Kerri,|d1978-|vJuvenile literature. 600 10 Taurasi, Diana|vJuvenile literature. 600 10 Biles, Simone,|d1997-|vJuvenile literature. 600 10 Muhammad, Ibtihaj,|d1985-|vJuvenile literature. 600 10 Lamoureux-Davidson, Jocelyne|q(Jocelyne Nicole),|d1989- |vJuvenile literature. 600 10 Lamoureux, Monique|q(Monique Edith),|d1989-|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 Women athletes|vBiography|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 Olympic athletes|vBiography|vJuvenile literature. 655 7 Picture books for children.|2lcgft 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft 700 1 Boiger, Alexandra,|eillustrator.
