The #metoo movement has sparked many interesting conversations online, in the media and among friends and colleagues about consent, equality and using the power you do have to raise up others. With International Women’s Day falling in March, this is an excellent time to highlight books that will keep this discussion going.

Novels based on incredible women who rocked science, engineering, politics, human rights, the Arts, and more. Probably all while making sure dinner was on the table.

Brilliant women who were pioneers of mathematics, physics, biology, journalism and other arts and sciences. Nonfiction. eBooks and print.

Poetry and rhymes for children and teens

Non fiction stories of adventure in Canada and beyond. Many written by women (maybe some men) who have explored the wild places in our world.
