For the past few weeks this month of March, I have been posting books I read to celebrate National Women’s History Month. That said, these books are of course, perfect for reading any day of the year. So here is a list of all the books I featured this past month, as well as a few more I featured earlier on the blog that fit the theme.
Starting with books for the little ones and ending with an adult non-fiction book, this list has something for everyone. So, here they are – 25 Books for Women’s History Month

This is really a great selection. I am keen to read Oprah’s book and Strong is the New Pretty. Of course, I would also love to get a copy of the book of JK Rowling since I am such a huge fan. Thank you for sharing this list.
thank you Clarice.. the Work It Girl series is wonderful and I am already looking forward to the next ones from them
What a great list of books! Rosie Revere, Engineer is the only one we have heard of – my girls own it and LOVE it! Thanks for the other great ideas!
you are welcome Flossie 🙂 Isn’t Rosie adorably smart?
The kids at our school do a Women’s Month project where they pick someone and do a project. Most of these names are familiar ones from the project. These books all look awesome!
