Friday Reads: Women of Color
March 9, 2018
This week we’re celebrating Women’s History Month, and International Women’s Day (3/8), with books by women of color. Women’s history is still under-discussed and undervalued, doubly so when it comes to the history of women of color. So we’re highlighting some of our recent favorite titles, bringing these women’s stories and perspectives to the front, where they belong.
