20+ Books About Women for Teens


The publishing industry is catching up to publishing the untold stories of women all over the world. In honor of Women's History Month, I wanted to find more great titles to possibly bring into a secondary ELA classroom library.

I recently asked several English teachers to share book titles about inspiring women that are appropriate for a secondary classroom, and here are the results.
