Honoring Women’s Stories.
If you were to sort all the reviews published in The Southern Bookseller Review by their subject tags, you would find 185 labeled “Women.” It is one of the most popular tags used on the site, and 185 does seem like a lot of books, until you realize that SBR has published over 3000 book reviews.
This month, we celebrate the importance of women’s history and women’s stories, of which we’ve only scratched the surface of what is there to be told.
