Yesterday was International Women’s Day (for which we published only posts by women readers and writers–you can see all the posts here). In that spirit, I jumped on the “One Book/One Like” Twitter bandwagon and decided to only recommend books by women for every like the tweet got. I made it up to 115 at the time of this writing, but I’m sure more will have been added before the post goes up. Check out my recommendations of excellent books by women, and add yours in the comments!
