Every March, Women’s History Month allows for reflection and education over where we’ve been, where we are now and where we need to go to achieve equality for everyone. It’s also an opportunity to honor strong female activists, leaders, creators, pioneers, athletes and artists that have furthered, and continue to strengthen, the role and visibility of women in the world. Since libraries are uniquely positioned to influence readers of all backgrounds, ethnicities and cultures, here are some popular reading picks by and about women, along with some free resources to help promote them. #### E-Books that Elevate and Empower Women of All Ages The women’s movement is changing the way women are viewed around the world and the need for on-the-go access to educational resources that support the movement.
