HERstory: Women’s History Month

Celebrate the power of storytelling every month of the year.

HerStory: Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations

Updated March 13, 2026

It’s Women’s History Month and we’re sharing a list of women-owned bookstores to support.

Black Women: Breaking Barriers, Building Legacies

Black women have long been at the heart of history, culture, science, activism, and the arts—shaping the world in ways both celebrated and still waiting to be fully recognized. Their stories are filled with innovation, courage, creativity, and an unwavering commitment to change. Across generations and disciplines, they have led movements, broken barriers, built legacies, and reimagined what’s possible. See the book list we’ve compiled here.

The National Women’s History Alliance has selected the theme for Women’s History Month 2025: “Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations.”

Inspired by all the beautiful children’s books being published every year that celebrate what we are calling HerStory, the CBC has gathered an up-to-date list of these new and backlist books. The list was created in March 2025 and we will add new books year-round.
