So what is ‘nevertheless, she persisted’?
The phrase was first uttered by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, as he ordered Sen Elizabeth Warren to be removed from the House for reading out a 30-year-old letter by Coretta Scott King, Martin Luther King Jr’s widow.
She was reading the letter to oppose the nomination of Jeff Sessions – a man who was once deemed ‘too racist’ to be a judge – for a federal judgeship.
As he ordered Sen Warren out of the House, McConnell said: ‘She was warned. She was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted.’
Since then those three words have taken on a completely new meaning, becoming a rallying cry for women everywhere to share the hardships through which they had also ‘persisted’.
