Happy almost-March! Women’s history month is
right around the corner, and with that comes incredible new opportunities to celebrate the womxn of our past, present, and future.
When it comes to Young Adult novels, what made me first fall in love with the genre as a teenager was the wealth of female protagonists and heroines that displayed courage, confidence, and a sisterhood that ran through the length of each memorable story. Even as an adult, I’m still blown away by the sheer beauty of the stories that are being published in YA, as they each illustrate the beautiful nuances of girlhood, and the power of diverse, female-driven stories.
