Hillary Clinton and her daughter, Chelsea Clinton, co-wrote a book called "The Book of Gutsy Women: Favorite Stories of Courage and Resilience," which tells the stories of more than 100 important women in history. It features many of the women we have encountered in our class! What I find particularly interesting is that they tell the story of both Rosa Parks and Claudette Colvin.
