 As announced last month, we are partnering with fellow independent publishers to draw attention to books that have big impact. This month, we're celebrating International Women's Day - a day that recognizes the social, economic, cultural and political achievement of women. From brilliant scientists, physicsts, and mathematicians, to navigating fragile terrain and fighting for unity, these stories showcase amazing women in our past, and the power of those who lead us today. They will encourage, inspire, and empower both girls and women to be themselves, seize the day, and break barriers. You can learn more about International Women’s Day here.
