May is going to be a big month for Ivanka Trump and Chelsea Clinton.

The former president’s daughter and the current president’s daughter both have books coming out in May, with Trump’s “Women Who Work” hitting shelves May 2 and Clinton’s “She Persisted” landing May 30.

Clinton announced the release of her children’s book on Twitter Thursday, writing: “Persistence has changed the course of history – I’m so excited to share stories of girls & women who didn’t take no for answer.” That list of women includes Harriet Tubman, Helen Keller and Oprah Winfrey.

Trump’s book is written as a career guide, with the tagline: “Rewriting the Rules for Success.”

“After appearing on ‘The Apprentice’ years ago and receiving a flood of letters from young women asking for guidance I realized the need for more female leaders to speak out publicly in order to change the way society thinks and talks about “women who work,” Trump wrote in a teaser. “So I created a forum to do just that.”

Clinton and Trump have been long-time friends though, according to Clinton, the two took a break during the election.

In an interview before Donald Trump won the presidency, Clinton explained that the pair wouldn’t be speaking before Election Day, but they would definitely connect after.

“Our friendship started before politics, so it will last beyond politics,” Clinton told E! News.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.

Readers like you make it all possible. We’ve started our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we need 1,800 readers like you to step up to support the Forward by April 21. Members of the Forward board are even matching the first 1,000 gifts, up to $70,000.

This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism, because every dollar goes twice as far.
