A Mighty Girl’s top picks of the best new books for children and teens about incredible women from around the world.
Gerda Lerner, the historian and scholar who pioneered the field of women’s history, once said, “In my courses, the teachers told me about a world in which ostensibly one-half the human race is doing everything significant and the other half doesn’t exist.” But increasingly, we are reclaiming history, telling the stories of the girls and women whose contributions to our shared story deserve to be celebrated! As parents and educators, it’s also important that we tell these stories to all of our children, boys and girls alike, so that they live in a world where history has always been about the contributions of all of humanity.
