Remember the Ladies

For much of history, women have lived and worked in the background. Famous figures like Florence Nightingale, Marie Curie, Amelia Earhart, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Rosa Parks dot the historical landscape. Still, legions of women have worked behind the scenes to make important scientific discoveries, notable works of art, and social changes that have made the world a better place.

Every March, we celebrate Women’s History Month to shine a light on some of their achievements. It’s a great opportunity to inspire new generations of girls to think expansively about what they can do in the world.

Of course, women’s contributions are too many and too various to cover in a single post! Nonetheless, this curated list can help you get started on exploring the world of women’s achievements. Dig deeper! We have full biographies on many of the women featured in these books.
