MARCH READING THEME
Her Story: Celebrating Women's Voices and Journeys
March is a time to honor the strength, resilience, and complexity of women’s stories, and what better way to do that than through books? Women’s voices have the power to inspire, challenge, and connect us, whether they’re recounting historical events, exploring deeply personal experiences, or unraveling gripping mysteries.
This month, I’ve curated a list of books that highlight the multifaceted journeys of women—tales of courage, heartbreak, and triumph. From wartime heroes to deeply personal memoirs, from unbreakable bonds to secrets that refuse to stay buried, these stories showcase the strength and humanity of women from all walks of life.
