International Women's Day 2021
International Women's Day is a global recognition of women’s achievements, with the aim of championing a better, fairer society for all. This year, the campaign focuses on the acts that challenge inequality, call out bias, question stereotypes and help to build a more inclusive world – supported with the message #ChooseToChallenge. From incisive non-fiction to powerful stories for all ages, these are the books that will help to create a gender equal world.
Energising words from a successful and inspirational activist, Make It Happen is a vitally important handbook that provides pointers on how anybody can make a difference in ongoing battle against inequality and prejudice.
