Grab your friends and start reading. A book club is a great space to start discussing the issues that affect women, children, and families today. Further your own understanding as you raise awareness of important subjects. If you’re looking to kick off a new book club or just looking for your book club’s next great read, we have resources to help you. Below are some book recommendations as well as reading discussion guides:
