"March is Women's History Month, dedicated to the study, observance, and celebration of the vital role of women in American history.

Below, we've selected 64 books, published within the last ten years, that dig deep into the topic. We've divided the collection into two broad categories. First is Histories and Biographies; second is Memoirs and Autobiographies.

In addition to the deep and invaluable historical overviews, we've got specific studies on writers and thinkers, queens and spies, funny ladies and female pharaohs, first ladies and Supreme Court justices. We've also got your Rocket Girls, Radium Girls, Fly Girls, and Code Girls."
