March is Women's History Month, and these books and classroom resources celebrate inspiring, imaginative girls and women. Many of the stories featured below highlight women who made history or lead by example, refusing to take "no" for an answer. These titles make great additions to curriculum units throughout the year.

International Women’s Day was later observed in 1909. In 1981, the U.S. Congress designated the second week of March National Women's History Week, and in 1987 Congress expanded it to a month-long observance.
