Every March we recognize Women's History Month, an annual event that celebrates "the contributions women have made to the United States and recognize the specific achievements women have made over the course of American history in a variety of fields."

Another important event in March is International Women's Day on March 8. This year's theme, "DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality," will recognize women advancing technology, explore the impact of the digital gender gap, and spotlight protecting the rights of women and girls online.

To help celebrate these events, we've gathered a variety of book lists featuring fiction, nonfiction, and more for readers of all ages. Take a peek at the lists below, then check out a book today!
