Women as World Changers

My Project

As Women's History Month begins, I want to make sure my students have an array books that show them the amazing accomplishments of women all over the world. Young and old, from all walks of life, women have been game changers in all fields including science, art, politics, sports, and more.

I want my students to have stories that provide lots of windows into what is possible for them.

I want my young artists to be inspired by Frieda Kahlo. I want my athletes to learn from Billie Jean King and Simone Biles. No matter your gender, these determined women and their stories can be an inspiration to all.

Whether my students are interested in becoming doctors, singers, activists, scientists, athletes or others, these amazing books will show them that they too can do what they put their mind to. And that anything is possible.
