By First Book

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. From true stories of remarkable women to fiction starring confident girls, the books below are perfect for sharing with all kids to model strong self-esteem, compassion, resilience, and innovation.
We have also included some of our staff's favorite Adult picks that would make for great Women's History Month reading!
