Navigating Nonfiction

Women's history happens one day at a time. 
 
It's easy to think that "history" is all about the past. In reality, how we live today — like the issues confronting women in society — shapes what tomorrow holds. For me, Women's History Month is a great reminder that we're still writing history every day. It's not just about headline-grabbing politicians and celebrities: it's in the life stories of ordinary women.
 
There are new voices speaking out, which means an abundance of riches out there for fans of autobiographies and memoir.  Enjoy! ~ Kim
