are you following the Who Was She Project?

For the last several years, every March, I’ve done some kind of project for Women’s History Month, like Women’s History Reads or Read 99 Women. This year my project is taking place on social media instead of the blog, and I’m keeping it brief: one book recommendation per day, based on a woman from history whose name I think you should know. They range from civil rights pioneers and early feminist writers, to scientists and inventors, to self-made millionaires and Prohibition-era brewing company CEOs (really!)

On Twitter, you can follow me at @theladygreer or search for the tag #WhoWasShe; on Instagram, same handle, with the slightly longer #WhoWasSheProject tag.

And! Best of all, you can hop over to Bookshop and buy any of the books listed, and you’re benefiting indie bookstores without losing the convenience of ordering online. Win/win!

Women's History Month 2021: Who Was She?

A very quick note about something I’ll be talking more about all month long: a project I’m calling “Who Was She?”

Every day on my social channels, I’ll highlight a book about a woman from history who did something amazing. If you want to peek ahead at some of the selections, or if you’ve seen a book on my social channels and want to pick it up while also supporting indie bookstores from the comfort of your own home, I’ve got great news!

More info on, and links to buy, all the books can be found in this Bookshop list, Who Was She?
