Read Across America Day: Books By and About Notable Women

Today is Read Across America day, and we’re really excited.   Read Across America Day is about dedicating ourselves to promoting literacy, critical thinking, and inspiring a whole new generation of readers and leaders of tomorrow.   Let’s inspire these young minds especially to pursue new adventures and think outside the box!  So make sure you take some time today to read a few pages in your favourite book, send a book to your loved ones, or buy one for a special kiddo in your life.  You can certainly believe us when we say we love reading (we love it almost as much as we love cars, which is a lot!)

Not only is it Read Across America Day, but it’s also Women’s HIstory month.  That’s why today we’re sharing our picks for great books about and by notable women.  You’ll find bestsellers and classics along with brand new publications.  All of them are available in ebook form for ease of reading while traveling, and many of them have an audiobook with narration for long trips or commutes.
