Women's Memoirs and (Auto)biographies
I have been collecting (and reading) a long list of memoirs, autobiographies and biographies about women who had fascinating lives. I thought I might as well make it a list! A lot of them I have read and enjoyed, some are from my TBR. I am especially fascinated by 18th-19th century women's stories, so there will be a lot of those. And women from diverse backgrounds. Open to suggestions!

arctic expeditions gone wrong (hint: all of them)
In case you were curious at all, life is hard in the Arctic. If you enjoy reading stories about people getting marooned in very (very) cold places and eating their boots, this one's for you.

Arctic Nonfiction, esp. Women
Nonfiction about arctic exploration, especially historical expeditions, with a focus on women. I am also adding some other intriguing arctic nonfiction books. Recommendations for more women-centered nonfic, and indigenous perspectives for this list welcome!
