My Top 10 Nonfiction Recommendations for Women's History Month

March is a great time of year to take time to learn about women's history. That may include events where women made history, were victims of tragedy or were lost to history and should be brought back into the spotlight. I love books that take me on a journey where women are the main character.

My favorite nonfiction recommendations to read featuring women's history (in no particular order) are:

10. Dolly Parton, Songteller: My Life in Lyrics

9. A Woman of No Importance: The Untold Story of the American Spy Who Helped Win World War II by Sonia Purnell

8. I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban by Malala Yousafzai

7. Minor Feelings: An Asian American Reckoning by Cathy Park Hong

6. The Witches: Suspicion, Betrayal and Hysteria in 1692 Salem by Stacey Schiff

5. Hood Feminism: Notes from the Woman that a Movement Forgot by Mikki Kendall

4. My Own Words by Ruth Bader Ginsburg

3. Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer

2. The Radium Girls: The Dark History of America's Shining Women by Kate Moore

1. Know My Name: A Memoir by Chanel Miller

Each of these books is on this list for a different reason and I highly recommend taking the time to read at least one of these during March. Check the trigger warnings ahead of time as women often times are victims of violence by society.
