Celebrating Women's History Month

Since 1987, the US has celebrated Women's History Month every March. From scientists to historians, actors, and authors, this is a time dedicated to recognizing and honoring the remarkable contributions of women throughout history.  

 

We encourage you to pick up a book either by or about women to celebrate Women's History Month — or any time of the year you're looking to discover a new favorite read!
