A great way to celebrate and acknowledge Women’s History Month is by reading literature with meaningful and diverse representations of women. We are intentional with our choices to feature stories of women and girls of different ages, ethnicities, races, classes, historical moments, and passions.
While we only choose four books to introduce to our libraries, we have so many more stories for our students to explore. Just ask the librarian! We hope you can either check out these stories from our school libraries or purchase them and add them to your own library. Diversifying our libraries and literature is important when we are learning about the world we live in, where we come from, and the different people and cultures we will interact with.
