Becoming by Michelle Obama

Michelle Obama is funny, complex, intelligent, thoughtful, realistic, loyal, hopefully, and more. It’s so easy to water down a person to the image presented by the media; more often than not, she was left to be the woman standing behind the man in the white house. Up until Becoming, I knew very little about her life outside of the basics.

The Cartiers by Francesca Cartier Brickell

The Cartiers by Francesca Cartier Brickell is more than a story of the Cartier family empire. It is the story of the world's highest societies. I highly enjoyed it.

Amazons, Abolitionists, and Activists by Mikki Kendall and A. d’Amico

Amazons, Abolitionists, and Activists by Mikki Kendall and A. d'Amico is a phenomenal graphic history of women's existence. I wish I'd had this book as a girl searching history for powerful/interesting women.
