Growing up in the White House

Chelsea Clinton became known around the world as a young child living in the White House, and later helped her mother Hillary in her failed bid to become the first female President of the United States. Today she is a mother herself, Vice President of the Clinton Foundation, and has a new children's picture book - She Persisted Around The World: 13 Women Who Changed History. It tells the stories of extraordinary women, like Malala and Marie Curie, who persevered in the face of prejudice and changed history. She joins us to talk about her book, why children need resilient female role models in positions of power, and, in an era of Trump and in her work for the Clinton Foundation, what needs to done to achieve gender equality in the US and around the world.
