Book Recommendation for History Award

If you're open to fiction recommendations, Firekeeper's Daughter by Angeline Boulley or tThe Nightingale by Kristin Hannah might be of interest. I am Malala by Malala Yousafzai is also good for nonfiction.

Thanks so much for these suggestions Anne Koschmider They look interesting to me. I read I Am Malala, but the others are new to me—I'm excited to check them out!

I would also add The Women by Kristin Hannah Laura Massa 

 Meaghan Mihalic This is also a great book I enjoyed reading. Thank you for the suggestion.

I, too, loved The Women by Kristin Hannah. Fabulously engaging narrative about women and their role during the Vietnam conflict.

I've enjoyed reading The Dark Queens by Shelley Puhak, which looks at female leaders of Europe that were essentially written out of history. The Remedial Herstory Project interviewed the author in one of their early podcasts if you want to preview the book's premise. (And for the history teachers, there's some great lessons that have been developed on their site)

Honestly, Laura Massa , I'm adding so many titles from this to my TBR list...looking forward to the summer of reading. :)

 Gwen Duralek I appreciate your suggestions—thank you so much. I remember that you’ve been supporting and promoting the Remedial Herstory Project, which I’ve taken the time to explore. 

Although it is U.S. focused, I might suggest the Myth of Seneca Falls (Lisa Tetrault, 2014). Not only does it talk about the women's suffrage movement, it also talks about how the leadership of the movement deliberately shaped the narrative not only at the time, but (through the deliberate destruction of records), what we have come to "know" about the movement today.  

Thank you Kathryn Nicholas I read the synopsis and it is fascinating. This is another wonderful option to consider. 

The summer reading list comment really resonates Gwen Duralek! I'm interested in the book you shared!
