Description

This week we’re kicking off our second annual celebration of women’s storytelling to close the year with our personal “best of” books and movies. Women’s stories are worth telling, investing in, reading, and sharing widely. So we want to share some of the ones that have impacted us this year. Today we’ll talk about books, why a diverse reading list matters so much and offer some favorites. Whether you’re an avid reader or not, we hope you’ll find something to connect with.

Check out our recommendations:

A Well Trained Wife: My Escape from Christian Patriarchy by Tia Levings

Coming Home by Brittney Griner

The fiction of Abby Jimenez

On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to be Good by Elise Loehnen
