Club Read's Recommended Nonfiction Written by Women
- Description
- Per the lively discussion on Club Read in recent weeks, we would like to read more nonfiction written by women, but often it's not as visible. So here is a place to make your recommendations. Any nonfiction works are welcome: history, art, science, music, memoirs. The only caveat is that this is a list of recommendations, so if the book was a stinker, don't add it. Thanks!
