Gal’s Guide is building an independent women’s history library and is seeking works by women and about women in various career fields. This month we have a list of 20 books in celebration and in honor of Black History Month.
UPDATE: we opened the Gal's Guide Library on March 6, 2020.
Each link goes to our Amazon Smile Charity Wish List.
If you have these books and would like to donate used copies, mail them directly to the library.
