Women’s Month is a mark on the calendar for a chance to spotlight voices that have shaped our world and continue to inspire us every single day. If you’re on the hunt for stories that capture strength, courage, and a whole lot of heart, I’ve got you covered with three incredible book recommendations.
1. Death: Awakening to Life by Christine Contini
Christine Contini’s Death: Awakening to Life takes you on a mind-opening journey into the afterlife—and back. After experiencing a near-death event, Contini brings us a unique and refreshing take on what it really means to live. Her story crosses the boundaries between life and death, nudging us to face our fears, reflect on our purpose, and see life through a brand-new lens.
If you’re looking for a book that challenges your perceptions while offering hope and insight, this one’s for you. Contini’s honest and heartfelt narrative will have you thinking about life long after you’ve turned the last page. It’s not just a story; it’s an invitation to embrace life with open arms.
2. The Night Watchman by Louise Erdrich
Louise Erdrich’s The Night Watchman is a Pulitzer Prize-winning novel inspired by her grandfather’s activism against Native dispossession. This story introduces us to Thomas Wazhashk, a dedicated night watchman, and Pixie Paranteau, a young woman striving to balance work, family, and her own dreams. Erdrich’s poignant storytelling and unforgettable characters shine a light on the resilience and courage of Native American women.
This novel pulls you into a world where every challenge is met with quiet strength and unbreakable determination. If you’re in the mood for a book that will move you, inspire you, and make you cheer for every victory, this one deserves a spot on your shelf.
3. The Women by Kristin Hannah
Kristin Hannah’s The Women is a gripping story set during the Vietnam War, following Frances “Frankie” McGrath, a young nurse who finds herself in the heart of the conflict. Hannah captures the raw emotions, challenges, and strength of women during this tumultuous time, making you feel every moment right alongside Frankie. This book is a moving tribute to the women who served, sacrificed, and found their own voices in the process.
These books are heartfelt reminders of the power, creativity, and brilliance that women bring to the table. So grab your favorite coffee, cozy up, and let these incredible voices keep you company this March.
