HERstory 2023: Memoir This! Bad Ass Women Spill It by SFPL_ReadersAdvisory - a staff-created list : The 2023 Women’s History Theme is “Celebrating Women Who Tell Our Stories.” One book in this list, "Shine Bright: A Very Personal History of Black Women in Pop," perfectly honors this theme through the genre of music history. For the remainder of the titles in this list, I’ve taken the liberty to retitle the theme “Celebrating Women Who Tell THEIR OWN RAW Stories.” That is, memoirs with an edge. From punk rock to disability activism to queer dominatrix, to rigorous healing of the spirit, you'll hear a rainbow of women's resilient voices. All SFPL titles are available in multiple formats such as print, ebook, and audiobook.
