Printer-friendly versionFor Women’s History Month, booksellers took to social media to recommend titles, showcase display, and celebrate women around the world.
Here is just some of what booksellers are posting:
44th and 3rd Bookseller in Atlanta, Georgia, posted to Instagram: “Happy International Women’s Day!! Everyday women continue to make amazing contributions to our society. To just have one day is not enough to say how much we love and appreciate all that you do. We hope all of you take the time today to reach out to the women that have made a difference in your life and let them know how much they are appreciated.”
Charis Books and More in Decatur, Georgia, has spent the month celebrating women in history, such as Beverly Smith and Barbara Smith.
Anderson’s Bookshop in Naperville, Illinois, made a book list in honor of Women’s History Month.
Antigone Books in Tucson, Arizona, celebrated women around the world with a display of books in translation.
Cafe con Libros in Brooklyn, New York, posted to Instagram: “We’re just going to keep doing what we do...celebrating womxn from all over the globe.”
Books Are Magic in Brooklyn, New York, recommended Kamila Shamsie’s Home Fire (Riverhead), a reimagining of the Antigone myth.
Blair Books & More in Chester, Vermont, showcased a Women’s History Month display.
RJ Julia in Madison, Connecticut, also showcased a Women’s History Month display.
Ruby’s Books in Folsom, California, recommended Women: The National Geographic Image Collection (National Geographic Society).
Women and Children First in Chicago, Illinois, posted to Instagram: “This International Women’s Day we are, of course, thinking a lot about labor — who benefits and who gets left behind. Women have always worked, even if that work is often trivialized and underpaid. Our front window was inspired by a graph from the Center for American Progress regarding the disproportionate rates of unemployment among women or color during the pandemic, erasing years of progress. We will share that graph in our stories!”
