Gift Books About Women in History

I love Rachel Ignotofsky’s books about women in history because I’m always interested in learning about notable women in history, especially important figures in traditionally male-dominated fields. The first one is about women in science. Each woman is featured in a beautiful two-page spread filled with her biography, fun facts, and stunning illustrations. Over the years, I have read and re-read this book many times. Truly the perfect gift for the aspiring scientist. If you like this, there’s also “Women in Sports” and “Women in the Arts.” Yes, I actually own them all and would recommend them to anyone and everyone.

I love Sam Maggs’ quirky sense of style in his illustrations. This adorable little book features many amazing women from history. wonder woman Featuring scientists, adventurers, engineers, athletes, and more. And the illustrations are really great. I wish I had a book like this when I was a girl. It would have sparked my imagination and given me the opportunity to see myself in so many different professions, so many possible futures. But even when I first read this book in my late twenties, I felt so encouraged by how far women have come. We still have a long way to go, but I was so proud of everything we’ve accomplished so far.

I love An Sheng’s illustrations. It’s not enough. I first discovered her on Instagram, so when I found out she was publishing a book, I knew I had to get my hands on it. A beautiful book featuring dozens of women who changed the world. Women who have rebelled against the system and fought for change have long been labeled “bad girls.” Shen flips the label on its head and features women who have used their talents to change the world for the better. If you are looking for a perfect and beautiful book, this book is definitely a great choice.
