It’s March and that means that warmer weather is ahead, spring is upon us, and it’s time to celebrate Women’s History Month. Women’s History Month is a month-long celebration of women and all their achievements and contributions to history.
In celebration, the North Bergen Public Library has put together a themed book list that features books, not only about famous women in history, but also books featuring strong female characters.
