Children's Books about Women in History | MOMMY EVOLUTION

As the mom of two boys, I want to make sure my kids know the important part women have played in history. I personally felt compelled to read them stories they might not otherwise come across in school. I wanted them to hear stories from all the threads of American society. 

It’s just as important that both boys and girls learn about inspiring women and learn that girls can do the same thing as boys — sometimes with better results!

My boys have learned that girls can be leading thinkers and accomplish some pretty cool things despite the roadblocks society may have put in their way. Now that’s the power of intelligent picture books about women!

What Is Women’s History Month

Women’s History Month is an annual observance dedicated to celebrating and acknowledging the contributions, achievements, and historical milestones of women throughout the world.

Established to highlight the often-overlooked roles women have played in shaping societies, cultures, and history, this month provides a platform to showcase the accomplishments of women in various fields, from science and politics to art and literature.

It is a time to reflect on the progress made towards gender equality, recognize the challenges women have faced, and honor those who have paved the way for future generations. Women’s History Month is not just a time to look back; it’s a call to action, encouraging continued efforts to address gender disparities and create a more inclusive and equitable future.

America celebrates Women’s History Month every March. But I encourage you to read these books throughout the year.
