Hillary, Chelsea Clinton Coming To Pace To Discuss 'Gutsy Women'

PLEASANTVILLE, NY – Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton and Chelsea Clinton will wrap up their 2019 book tour on Pace University’s Pleasantville campus Dec. 18. They'll talk about gutsy women, moderated by singer, actress and designer Vanessa Williams.

Williams and Clinton are Westchester County residents.

"The Book of Gutsy Women: Favorite Stories of Courage and Resilience,” published by Simon & Schuster, looks at the lives of women in history who have made a difference, ranging from social activists and political figures to writers and Olympians. Among those highlighted in the book are Eleanor Roosevelt, Amelia Earhart, Harriet Tubman and Billie Jean King.

The book's subtitle is "Favorite Stories of Courage and Resilience," and it features more than 100 stories of women who have inspired the mother-daughter team. The two have been talking about many of these since Chelsea was a little girl, the two said in a recent interview on WNYC. Others they found and shared with each other as they were building the material for the book.

A Pace University spokesman said the event was quickly selling out.
