Mighty Girls Become Mighty Women
Celebrating Women’s History Month
By Chelsea Appleton, Children's Associate, Hardesty Regional Library
March is Women’s History Month, a time to honor the incredible contributions of women throughout history and inspire the next generation of trailblazers. One of the best ways to celebrate? Through books that highlight strong female protagonists, real-life heroines, and empowering stories!
Books have the power to introduce children to courageous women who have changed the world—scientists, artists, activists, and leaders who defied expectations and made history. By reading these stories, children can see that they, too, can dream big, break barriers, and make a difference.
