International Women's Day 2020 campaign theme is #EachforEqual
An equal world is an enabled world.
Individually, we're all responsible for our own thoughts and actions - all day, every day.
We can actively choose to challenge stereotypes, fight bias, broaden perceptions, improve situations and celebrate women's achievements.
Collectively, each one of us can help create a gender equal world.
Let's all be #EachforEqual.
We've collected 15 books by women that we think explore the issue of gender equality - something for every age (children, teens and adults) and both non-fiction and fiction.
We hope you'll find something here to inspire you this International Women's Day.
