“The Book of Gutsy Women is filled with essays that are reflections of our feelings about these women; what we think about them,” explained Hillary in a video posted to Twitter. “But we also want to spark a conversation.”

“We always need this book because we think it’s always a good time to be celebrating, learning from and being inspired by gutsy women,” said Chelsea. “It’s a continuation of a conversation we’ve been having my whole life, about the women who motivate us and challenge us.”

If their previous work is anything to go by, we’re in good hands. The Book of Gusty Women isn’t the first time the pair have wowed us with their words. In 2017, Chelsea’s children’s book She Persisted introduced feminism to a whole new cohort of budding activists, while Hillary’s What Happened proved an international success.

For many of us, working with family is a definite no-go. Unimaginable, even. But not for the Clintons. Both Hillary and Chelsea agree that the process went off without a hitch… almost.

“I knew that my mom still wrote longhand, but I didn’t quite release what that would mean to collaborate,” explained Chelsea. “She would say she had finished something, and then she would take pictures of it on her phone!”

Hillary and Chelsea Clinton are releasing a new book to celebrate the women who’ve inspired them
