For option 2, can I use C.S. Harris since S looks like a middle name initial?

Enjoy!
Just so I know I'm on the right track, I can use for option two Helen Klein Ross because I can ignore the middle initial? Thank you :)

There are many celebrations around the world during the month of March. I have chosen just a few for this task.
This is a ONE book task. Please choose from the options below.
REQUIRED: Indicate in your post the option you chose
No book that has the genre childrens or kids may be used for this task.
Option 1.-
Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss) was born on March 2, 1904.
I can still read "Green Eggs and Ham" and smile!
One of my favorite Dr. Seuss quotes is:
"So be sure when you step, Step with care and great tact. And remember that life's A Great Balancing Act. And will you succeed? Yes! You will, indeed! (98 and ¾ percent guaranteed)..."
Read a book that has a word in the title or subtitle of at least 4 letters that matches any of the words in the quote above. Words must match exactly.
Option 2.- March 8 is International Women's Working Day.
According to the UN, "It is a day when women are recognized for their achievements without regard to divisions, whether national, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic or political.
It was first celebrated in 1911. The campaign theme for this year is BE BOLD FOR CHANGE
Read a book written by a woman whose first and last name initials can be found in "BE BOLD FOR CHANGE".
Middle name initials may be ignored. Letters may only be used as often as they appear. Spaces determine names.
Option 3.- Holi is a Hindu festival that says goodbye to winter and welcomes in spring in a rainbow of colors. In India it’s predominantly celebrated in the north of the country, and is known as the Festival of Colors. On Holi’s final day, children and adults take to the streets throwing colorful powder over each other.
Read a book where ALL the letters in the word RAINBOW are found in any combination of the title, subtitle and/or author's first and last name.
Option 4.- I live in Mexico, and on March 21 we celebrate Benito Juárez's birthday who was president from 1858 to 1872. Coincidentally, it's the same day we celebrate the arrival of Spring, and it's always been a holiday.
For this task, read a book written by a Mexican author (by birth or residence).
Required: If the place of birth/residence is not evident on the GR author page, please provide a reference link.
Happy reading!
