Hillary Rodham Clinton and her daughter, Chelsea, discuss what it means to be "gutsy" and look back on the women who have inspired them—women with the courage to stand up to the status quo, ask hard questions, and get the job done. Secretary Clinton said, “Each of these women has fought and won the kinds of victories that pave the way for progress for all of us. To us, they are all gutsy women—leaders with the courage to stand up to the status quo, ask hard questions, and get the job done. This book is a continuation of a conversation Chelsea and I have been having since she was a little girl, and we are excited to welcome others into that conversation.” “The gutsy women in this book share a fierce optimism that their work and lives will make a difference in the world. And, they're right,” said Chelsea Clinton. “We hope readers will draw strength from their stories as we have, because if history shows one thing, it's that the world needs more gutsy women.”
