Any fiction or non fiction books you can recommend that are empowering for women? I’m looking for something that makes you feel like damn, I want that courage!
Frances Lear’s autobio / memoir : *The Second Seduction* (1992)
Recommend highly.

Red Sister by Mark Lawrence. “It is important, when killing a nun, to ensure that you bring an army of sufficient size.”
And it only gets more badass from there.

West with the Night by Beryl Markham. First person to fly westward against the wind across the Atlantic from Britain to North America (Lindbergh flew Eastward and with the wind). Grew up in Kenya. Survived a Lion attack. Incredible writer and storyteller. Hemingway loved the book. Definitely a badass.

I just finished The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi by Samantha Shannon! It follows a kickass pirate queen who comes out of retirement to get her pirate crew back together for one last job. It’s historical fantasy, set in the area surrounding the Indian Ocean in the 11th century: highly recommend!
