Women’s history month, you say? The shelves are brimming with options for readers looking to explore women’s stories throughout history! Here, some great options from our world history sections. Do you have a favorite biography or history book focused on women? @annemetcalf53 love Stacy Schiff’s CLEOPATRA (pictured)!
