5 Biographical Books To Celebrate Fabulous Women In March
We know you read books by and about badass women all year round, but Women’s History Month seems a very blast to spotlight books that feature the lives of fabulous females.
1 Jasmin Darznik:- Song of A Captive Bird
This debut novel fictionalizes the fascinating lifetime of Forugh Farrokhzad, one among Iran’s best-known (and most controversial) poets. Born in Tehran in 1935, her life was cut much too short, but the years she did live contained quite enough stories to form this novel a desirable read. (Pro tip: Have a set of Farrokhzad’s poetry available to read once you finish this novel because your interest will definitely be piqued.)
2 Burial Rites by Hannah Kent
Her guilty verdict is widely doubted to the present day, and she or he continues to be an idea for popular culture in Iceland, from literature to music.
3 Paula McLain:- Circling the Sun
Perhaps best known for her historical novel The Paris Wife, Paula McLain fictionalizes the lifetime of another fascinating woman from history in Circling the Sun.
4 Anita Diamant :- The Red Tent
This book reaches way back in history to biblical times to inform the story of Dinah, one among the rarely mentioned daughters of Jacob. Told from the primary person, Dinah relates her life within the “red tent,” where women were confined during menstruation or birth. Although almost historically (or biblically) accurate, the story is beautifully told and provides voice to several women besides Dinah (aunts, sisters, mothers, etc.) who aren't often heard from otherwise.
5 Memoirs and Nonfiction Books 5 Shout by Laurie Halse Anderson
Laurie Halse Anderson has written quite 30 books for youngsters and young adults, except for many readers, her name still immediately calls to mind her 1999 novel, Speak, about a high school-aged survivor of sexual assault. In her 2019 memoir, Shout, Anderson exposes her own experience of sexual abuse as a young adolescent. The memoir is written in vers libre and therefore the audiobook version is narrated by Anderson, which greatly enhances the listening experience
