So many that I made myself promise to start my 2018 reading list with in-house books only, excepting science-related nonfiction. In fact, the most books IвЂ™ve received as presents in a yearвЂ¦ever. Among them includes the remarkable bounty of books I received as gifts. And although 2017 has been a troubling year (with December being a rather difficult month both generally and personally), it still has had its bright moments. Most (though not all) became blog posts (links to posts are provided). I picked my top notable reads because they contained fascinating stories, some imagined and some true, that resonated with me long after I read them. Over this past year, IвЂ™ve read around 50 books, not counting the ones IвЂ™ve re-read both for a certain youngsterвЂ™s bedtime or my own pleasure. I also plan to continue reading books that challenge my thinking, comfort me on darker days, and outright amuse me. For my part, I look forward to discovering opportunities to do better and be better in the upcoming year. While the yearвЂ™s end always seems to be an appropriate moment to pause from the everyday hustle and contemplate where weвЂ™ve been and where we hope to go, it seems perhaps more necessary than ever this year. The last week of 2017 finally arrived with a wintry blast that felt particularly chilling given the previously balmy (if unseasonable) temperatures earlier in the month.

Recently, EF addressed womenвЂ™s unpaid emotional labor with update on etiquette by Alice Williams: New Etiquette Rules for Women-Without the Sexism This Time. I promised to read it this year, and thereвЂ™s no time like the present. в†©ДЄnd yes, it is book that I said held the record for being on my to-be read list the longest. Also in the вЂњhidden historyвЂќ category is Rebecca SklootвЂ™s book, The Immortal Lives of Henrietta Lacks, which discusses the life of Henrietta Slack, the woman whose cancer cells taken without permission led to countless scientific breakthroughs and raised serious questions about medical ethics. IFL Science, helmed by Elise Andrews, published Women Scientists You Need to Know on this International WomenвЂ™s Day.

Moreover, even women characters lack representation.

We also should work on reading inclusively, because more belongs on our shelves than works written by white, straight cisgendered individuals. 5 Regardless of the format, I intend to keep reading women throughout the year, because we deserve to be heard and celebrated. In addition, my daily reading involves targeted online zines (eg, Everyday Feminism) that keeps me current with the latest issues women face, certainly something IвЂ™ll continue to do this month. While another nonfiction work focuses on a funny woman ( Bossypants by Tina Fey) succeeding in a field notoriously hostile to women, others are works of fiction IвЂ™ve heard good things about and wanted to read-books that in their own way that will expose to me womenвЂ™s voices. One book I intend to read, Woman in the Nineteenth Century, 4 inspired the women who went off do something about suffrage in the United States.

Which takes me full circle to WomenвЂ™s History Month. And being informed about womenвЂ™s contributions to society as well their issues often empowers action.

3 Reading more written by women lets us discover the unsung women who made important contributions to this world, such as the black female mathematicians who helped NASA win the space race ( Hidden Figures by Margot Lee Shetterly). Reading a good book highlights problems women face, such as the wage gap by discussing its roots or revealing the true cost of all that unpaid labor women perform ( Who Cooked Adam SmithвЂ™s Dinner? by Katrine MarГ§al, trans. Reading gives us the chance to self-educate, to learn more about issues that affect us as well as access experiences that arenвЂ™t ours. 2 However, I thought this might be an opportunity to discuss how reading more women actually benefits us, given how womenвЂ™s representation and issues have come to the forefront over the last year (#metoo and #TimesUp movements, to name two).

I intended to point out that the reason IвЂ™ve been focusing on reading more women writers, 1 as I discussed in my post about Reading Women Month, is that women writers lack representation. For WomenвЂ™s History Month, I originally planned to list works by women I want to read this month.
