Books to Honor Women’s History Month
Women have had to fight for their rights to be heard in every space that has traditionally been allotted to man. However, through the resilience and strength of many women throughout history, we have been able to create some change in the narratives, role, and place of women!
We still have a long road ahead of us that includes closing the gender pay gap.
Fact: Compared to white men, white women working full time; earn 78 cents to every dollar a man earns. African American women make 64 cents, and Latina, 54 cents.
Let’s empower and educate or children through the power of reading, by highlighting some amazing women in history!
Happy Reading!
