From Maya Lin (who was chosen to design the Vietnam Memorial) to Wilma Pearl Mankiller (the first female Cherokee Chief), the women featured in these books made strides in their fields and will have a lasting impression on young girls striving to make their mark as well. You’re sure to find inspiration to accomplish something—whether it’s big or small—in these books about female heroes!
