Inspired by Women's history month and my local library! Ever get annoyed when headlines include the man's full name and then 'so&so's wife'? Then this is the list for you! These are books that include "wife" in the title and are often about a lot more complex and dynamic women than just 'someone's wife'. open to recommendations
Tried to include a range of diverse genres/culture/background/time period! Though I haven't read them all, I did look up every book and evaluated for consideration.
