Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
She Persisted in Science
Chelsea Clinton · 2022
82/100
👍 Worth It
This may be the strongest entry in the She Persisted series — Clinton and Boiger turn their attention to women whose discoveries were stolen or ignored by science's old boys' club, and the result is both inspiring and honest about how the system worked against them. Starred reviews from Publishers Weekly and Booklist reflect genuine quality, not just brand momentum. Profiles are brief, but for a 6-to-10 audience that is a feature, not a bug.
