Praise for She Persisted: Patsy Mink:

A propulsive narrative moves quickly through Minks life . . . The book is decidedly inspirational in tone, yet the text includes brief, accurate, and age-appropriate explanations of the laws, people, and ideas that contributed to structural racism and oppression . . . A concise yet stirring biography. --Kirkus Reviews
