It’s women’s history month again! And since last year I did a 8 part series of books one can read, I’m just relisting them here. You can search the tags by title or author to check out my thoughts and summaries on them. But basically one could choose to read a book a day for the entire month so you’ll be very filled with the history of what women can do.
And that’s not all. I may have consumed a fair amount of women’s history books but there are still more coming out, and I’ll be writing about them here because there’s always more to learn.
