Women Writers from Around the World

Here in the United States, most of the books published are by authors from the U.S. or the U.K., so it’s easy to get into the habit of just going with the flow. But for readers who want to broaden their perspectives, it’s important that we think about where our books are coming from — their country of origin, their original language, etc. — and how we can incorporate more books from around the world into our lives.

With that goal in mind, today I’m recommending two books featuring authors from around the world, each writer sharing her perspective on the world. But before we jump into books, it’s time for bookish goods!

2024 is the tenth year of the Read Harder Challenge! Join us as we make our way through 24 tasks meant to expand our reading horizons and diversify our TBRs.
