Hiya! Here are five great novels to celebrate International Women’s Day with. (If you’re wondering, International Women’s Day is on the 8th of March.) Filled with feminism and empowerment, these books are perfect for this lovely day!
(PS; As always, click on the book covers to add the novels to goodreads.)
1. Wench
Wench by Maxine Kaplan is the perfect story for magic lovers! Filled with exciting adventures, this is the feminist fantasy novel you’ve been waiting for!
2. Know My Name
Know My Name by Chanel Miller is a memoir of a young woman’s life after getting assaulted. It’s a moving novel that I do recommend you check out.
3. Six Angry Girls
Six Angry Girls by Adrienne Kisner is a book about female empowerment, knitting, and mock trials. How unique is that?
4. Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982
Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 by Nam-Joo Cho (translated by Jamie Chang) is a story about the everyday life of a Korean woman. It’s 192 pages, and breaks down the layers of what it means to be a woman in such an interesting way!
5. The Knockout
The Knockout by Sajni Patel is about a teenage girl named Kareena Thakkar who’s a rising star in Muay Thai. The story follows Kareena as she navigates through life. I think the fact that she’s doing Muay Thai is so cool!
That’s a wrap! I hope you enjoyed, and thank you for reading!

This is an amazing list! Another book I’d recommend would be Moxie by Jennifer Mathieu (I think that’s how you spell her last name?). It deals with sexual harassment and is really empowering since it’s about teenage girls standing up against boys who have been sexually harassing people in their school in which the boys are sort of at the top of the heirarchy.
