Resources and Books for Women’s History Month!

March is Women’s History Month! So we have a list of great books and resources for you to use in your library or media center, during this month and all year long!

  • WomensHistoryMonth.gov is a great place to start. The site features a ton of materials for teachers, audio and visual resources in a variety of different subjects, and many different exhibits and collections to explore!
  • NCTE has this great page full of resources for English teachers looking to incorporate female writers and characters into their classroom.
  • The Biodiversity Heritage Library will be starting a very cool program on March 8th called “Her Natural History: A Celebration of Women in Natural History” with the goal of increasing awareness and knowledge of the many contributions women have made to the field of biodiversity research.
  • Visit the NASA Women of STEM site to learn more about the women working in engineering, technology, and more at NASA.
  • Book Riot has this video recommending five contemporary women authors to read this month! (I will second the recommendations for Samantha Irby and V.E. Schwab!)

This list from Romper is full of picture book biographies of women, including The Bravest Woman in America by Marissa Moss.

Bustle has this great list of biographies of interesting women from history aimed at adult readers, including Empress Dowager Cixi by Jung Chang.

Finally, the San Francisco Public Library has assembled this list of books for teens to celebrate Women’s History Month, including Lies We Tell Ourselves by Robin Talley

We have had such a good time at our assorted events lately, that we want to have another one. And we like to read good books, so this month we are celebrating Women’s History Month with a Read-In!

(If it’s extra incentive: Lady Grey should be in-house! She’s a strong supporter of libraries and reading, and of course supports reading as a way to celebrate Women’s History Month!)

Women’s History Month poetry, short stories, and music on Spotify

Spotify is great for listening to music and making playlists, and they’ve really done a great job to help celebrate Women’s History Month!

Thanks to this article from Book Riot, I discovered that Spotify has compiled a few really neat playlists: Poetry (read by the authors), Women’s Lit (classic short stories), Women of Latin Music, a playlist of women composers, plus a ton more! Get more detail from the article here, or just find the “Women’s History Month” category on Spotify. As someone that probably wouldn’t pickup a book of poetry, or listen to women K-Pop stars, these playlists make it easy to try new genres and recognize the talented women that created them!

You do need to setup a Spotify account to access the playlists, but it’s free and portable (if you download the app).

Happy listening!
