If you’re anything like me you probably feel like you don’t read enough. Not that you don’t read at all, because of course you do. We all read all the time. We’re constantly on social media and we’re constantly reading. Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, emails, news – it all counts as reading. And it’s not bad that we do this. It’s great, it keeps us in the loop of what’s happening in the world and all the latest news and trends. But is it the quality reading we should be doing? The short answer is “No”. The long answer is “HELL NO!”. We should read more books, especially if they’re great books by some very cool women. So I took the liberty of coming up with a list of some awesome books written by some spectacular women, that every woman should read.
1. The Diary Of Frida Kahlo: An Intimate Self-Portrait by Frida Kahlo
Frida Kahlo was an amazing painter in the 1900’s who’s famous for her self portraits. She’s also become a female icon that empowers women all over the world to this day. This book is essentially her journal full of illustrations, sketches, poems and thoughts on identity, race, gender and class in Mexico. It’s a chance to peek into her thoughts and dreams, her reflections on life and the tumultuous relationship with her husband, Diego Rivera.
2. I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou
Maya Angelou was such a talented woman. She was a poet, writer and a social rights activist. In her life she wrote 3 books of essays, several books of poetry, 7 autobiographies and she’s also credited for a whole list of movies, tv shows and plays. “I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings” is her first autobiography. It’s a coming of age story of her early life and how she learned to overcome racism and trauma.
3. I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up For Education & Was Shot By The Taliban by Malala Yousafzai
Malala is young and talented girl who paid a high price for what she believes in. She comes from Pakistan and she strongly believes in women’s rights for education. She was shot in the head one day when she was coming back from school, and not only did she miraculously survive, but she lived to tell the story and became the youngest laureate for a Nobel Peace Prize at just 16.
