March 2022

Who runs the world? GIRLS. And given that March is Women’s History Month, let’s make sure that everyone knows it—especially your kids. We don’t need to tell you that the last few years have been (extra) harrowing for women, so it’s (extra) important to teach your boys and girls the importance of women in the past, present and future. Read on for five of our favorite ways to celebrate this all-important month that will be fun for both you and your little feminists.

1. Read a book about historical female figures

Besides some of our favorite classic children’s books with strong female characters (shout-out to Matilda!), there has recently been a spate of picture books devoted to teaching kids about often-overlooked women in history. Little Leaders: Bold Women in Black History, for example, profiles women who managed to be fearless trailblazers in a world that didn’t accept them, while Women in Science—50 Fearless Pioneers Who Changed the World features the women in science who have been criminally forgotten. Other favorites of ours include: Rad American Women A-Z: Rebels, Trailblazers, and Visionaries who Shaped Our History… and Our Future! (that remixes your boiler-plate A-Z book), Who Says Women Can’t Be Doctors? (part of a series of what women can be), Fantastically Great Women Who Made History (cute and informational!), Little Feminist Board Book Set (for the smallest and mightiest of feminists) and Spectacular Sisters (amazing stories of sisters from around the world).
