The books in this section were chosen by First Book's children's book curation experts because they feature women and girls who stand up for what is right, don't let others define who they are, and aren't afraid to make mistakes and grow. Here are a few of our favorite inspiring true stories that celebrate the grit, innovation, courage, and compassion of women this month and all year long.
