The Reading Agency's March Booklist: Wonder Women

To mark International Women’s Day (8 March) and celebrate the achievements, triumphs and general brilliance of women and girls around the world, we have created a booklist that represents all these things! From a sweet-toothed recipe book to a history of women’s clothing, to a depiction of Death as a Black working-class woman – with some brilliant translated fiction among them – we hope these books provide something for everyone to discover and enjoy.

Tell us what you think of the books on this list, or any others you have read, by tagging us on social media: @readingagency

And we also love it when you buy yourself or someone else a brand new book from a high street bookshop. We also know that buying online is quick and convenient...
