Book Recommendations: Women’s Rights and Wrongs

We couldn’t stay out of the “Women's Rights and Women's Wrongs” trend! Our founder, Elizabeth, is an avid reader, so we asked her to share some of the books she’s read on women’s rights and wrongs, along with her personal notes and thoughts along the way.

Take a look at her picks and what she had to say about each one!
