March is Women’s History Month in the U.S. (in the U.K. and Australia, too!), and while we hold that it's good to read about women's history and accomplishments throughout the year, this is the month when we like to pitch in with a specially curated collection.
 
As such, we have collected below 152 nonfiction titles on women’s history and affiliated topics, as recommended by your fellow Goodreads regulars. The list is divided into three categories: General Nonfiction, Histories/Biographies, and Memoirs. Each of the books listed is relatively recent, published within the past 10 years, with newer books stacked toward the top of each category.
 
There’s some genuinely fascinating stuff here, even if you’re just (browser) window-shopping. On the cerebral end of things, superstar scholar Mary Beard takes on the entire global history of misogyny in Women & Power. With This Thread of Gold, author Catherine Joy White celebrates the past, present, and future of Black womanhood. She Said is the devastating exposé on Harvey Weinstein by New York Times journalists Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey.
 
On the lighter side of things, U.K. mythology expert Natalie Haynes profiles powerful Greek goddesses in Divine Might. And historian Heather Radke celebrates the immortal glory of the female posterior in Butts: A Backstory.
 
You’ll also find some of the most prominent memoirs of the last few years, with books from Michelle Obama, Hannah Gadsby, Michelle Zauner, Viola Davis, Alice Wong, and Jennette McCurdy.
