Happy International Women's Day
At Tusome Books today, we’d like to celebrate women authors because it is through them that we are able to read about different experiences, peak into other lives, and become better citizens for it.
It is through these women authors’ works that we start noticing our own biases. Their works encourage and inspire us to find ways to participate in making spaces and to fight against social issues, including gender injustice.
On this International Women’s Day and every day, we are #breakingthebias through literature. Pick up one of these titles today in celebration of these women, and to peek into other life experiences expanding your worldview.
