Excellent list, thank you. It makes my heart hurt that we have lost so much ground lately, but maybe books like these will bring up the next generation.
Yes! I hope we can set up the next generation to help us move forward!
I LOVE this list! Thanks so much for sharing these books. It’s so important for young girls to see great female role models, and I think books are a great way for them to find that. Also, have you read I am Malala? I’m reading it right now and it’s really interesting!
