5 Book Suggestions for Women's History Month

It's Women's History Month and time to find some good reading material for the kids.  I have only read the first two below, but the others are on my list.

Lives of Extraordinary Women: Rulers, Rebels (and What the Neighbors Thought)  (Author) Kathleen Krull

Lives of Extraordinary Women has short intervals describing the accomplishments and vices of top women throughout history.  From Cleopatra to Aung San Sun Kyi, there is a lot to learn from strong women leaders of the past.  Their stories are not perfect, but do highlight the power that some of these women were able to wield and maintain.  Although some of the details are inappropriate for young kids, I am adapting for bedtime stories for this month.

This book is an entertaining who's who of American women, organized by categories, including women in science and math. 

Girls Think of Everything: Stories of Ingenious Inventions by Women



Amelia to Zora: Twenty-Six Women Who Changed the World 


Women in Science: 50 Fearless Pioneers Who Changed the World


What are your pics for Women's History Month?
