In honor of International Womenโs Day here are books written by women, for women, about women. From rebellion to resilience, sisterhood to survival and family to friendships.

Ancient Women Who Terrify Me (In A Good Way)
Ancient heroines, goddesses, villains, and ordinary civilians all fighting for a sliver of agency in traditionally male dominated societies. The mythos surrounding these women may be centuries old, but one thing is certain; a good novel can animate even the most ancient tales.
