A Mighty Girl
When we highlight children's books about real-life Mighty Girls and women, they often focus on individuals from Western countries such as the US, Canada, UK, and Australia. While kids' books about remarkable women from elsewhere around the world are often harder to find, there are fortunately growing numbers of titles celebrating the accomplishments of girls and women worldwide.
In celebration of International Women's Day, we're featuring a collection of 50 books about global girls and women from Afghanistan, Chile, the Philippines, Gambia, Syria, China, and many other countries around the world!
There are dedicated scientists, gifted artists, empowering politicians, and courageous activists. By sharing these stories with our kids, we can help them develop a global perspective on women's contributions — one which helps more women's voices be heard in both their own countries and around the world.
