192 Nonfiction Books to Read This Women's History Month - Page 2

"Here's some trivia for your next book club gathering: Women's History Month, celebrated in March in the U.S., originally began as Women's History Week, a local celebration in Santa Rosa, California, in 1978. The idea evolved and expanded from there until Congress authorized the proclamation of Women's History Month in 1988. Go forth with this knowledge and prosper.

Each year, we like to pitch in with a specially curated collection featuring nonfiction books on women's history and associated topics. This time around, we've divided the collection into three categories: General Nonfiction, Histories and Biographies, and Memoirs. Each of the books listed is relatively recent, with older selections going back around 10 years."
