5 books that are essential to read for Women’s History Month

We do a lot of research when we are writing these articles, so thank you very much for reading and wanting to know more! Since 1987, the United States has been commemorating womenโ€™s contributions to history, culture, and society during the month of March (Womenโ€™s History Month). However, March 8th is designated as the International Womenโ€™s Day to observe the economic, political, and social achievements of women.

Now, we want to bring visibility to the stories that are memorable for Women at Audible! These stories will nourish our comprehension towards womenโ€™s struggles and milestones! So letโ€™s check on them and why these books were memorable for them!!

Untamed by Glennon Doyle

Glennon Doyle denied her own discontent for many years. While speaking at a conference, she looked at a woman across the room and fall in love. This voice that told her that she was the one was a voice she had buried beneath decades addictions, cultural conditioning, and institutional allegiances. This was the voice of the girl she had been before the world told her who to be.

Glennon then decided that it was enough and instead of keep abandoning herself, she abandoned the worldโ€™s expectations of her. In this story, the reader will navigate around how a responsible mother is not the one that slowly dies for her children, will see divorce and how to form a blended new family, and more. This is simply a story that will teach us how to leave through the live of Glennon Doyle.

The Secret History of Wonder Woman by Jill Lepone

The Secret History of Wonder Womanย is a tour of intellectual and cultural history. Wonder Woman, Jill Lepore argues, is the missing link in the history of the struggle for womenโ€™s rightsโ€”a chain of events that begins with the womenโ€™s suffrage campaigns of the early 1900s and ends with the troubled place of feminism a century later.

The origins of Wonder is a tale of drama, intrigue, and irony. In the 1920s, Marston and his wife brought into their home Olive Byrne. Even while celebrating a conventional family life in a regular column for the Family Circle, they themselves pursued lives of extraordinary nonconformity. Marston, internationally known as an expert on truth spilled all of them on the pages of Wonder Woman. I watched part of the movie, but I will so read this book soon to know more about my favorite heroine!

Mrs. Dalloway by Victoria Woolf

It is to be known as Virginia Woolf’s greatest novel! A vivid portrait of a single day in a woman’s life, Mrs. Clarissa Dalloway. She is preoccupied with the last-minute details of party preparation while in her mind she is something much more than a perfect society hostess because while getting ready she reexamines the choices that brought her there, hesitantly looking ahead to the unfamiliar work of growing old.

Virginia Woolf, in her work “A Room of One’s Own”, argues the need of women to have their own room, their own economic independence. Here, we see how the portrayal of a socialite, a perfect women, is brought down by a live of regrets and ifs.

Bad Feminist is the honest and sharp reality of Roxane that describes herself as a bad feminist since she likes pink and listens to rap. In these essays, she argues politic and social expectations that women deal with every day.

Roxane also cover popular culture and how the content that we consume is the content that we become. From her commentary, the portrait that emerges is not only one of an incredibly insightful woman continually growing to understand herself and our society, but also one of our culture.
