Good Girls Go to Heaven, Bad Girls Go Everywhere by Ute Ehrhardt
Real-life stories can awaken our sense of self-esteem, and this book contains just such enlivening stories.

Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls: 100 Tales of Extraordinary Women by Elena Favilli and Francesca Cavallo
The idea to arrange a hundred stories about the life path and discoveries of many well-known women in the form of fairy tales for girls and women was received by readers all over the world with a bang.

The book also has the 2nd part and enlisted the support of eminent contemporary artists who successfully complemented the stories visually. By the way, this book can be advised for reading to boys as it can lay a good foundation for their gentlemanly attitude and respect in girls.
My Life on the Road by Gloria Steinem
During her life, Steinem managed to achieve considerable heights despite being brought up in not entirely favorable conditions. Before entering school for the first time at the age of 12 and showing her success as a student, she was constantly moving, and when her parents divorced, she stayed with her mother. Having received a scholarship after graduating from college, the girl went to India, where she could observe the infringement of the rights of women in all ways. This trip undoubtedly left its mark on Steinem’s subsequent activities as a journalist, writer, and public figure.
In her autobiographical book, the author describes her revolutionary path as a fighter for fair treatment of women around the world, regardless of race and social status, and their rights to dispose of their lives as they see fit.
In general, what could be a more life-affirming book for a woman than a book written by the author who is called the mother of feminism?

It will be great if this copy falls into your hands when you decide to rethink your habits and create a better version of yourself. Hudson’s book is written from the heart, and although it cannot be said that it describes only universal approaches, practices, and advice, but reading it is interesting and motivating.
