Caroline Woods recommends

The Good Daughters (2025)
Brigitte Dale
"I read this book with my heart in my throat. The Good Daughters is a poignant reminder of the tremendous sacrifices suffragettes of all social classes endured to earn women the right to vote, putting their bodies and lives on the line to speak truth to power. Elegantly written and expertly researched, Brigitte Dale's debut is the perfect read for the world we're living in now."

Horses of Fire (2023)
A D Rhine
"A.D. Rhine's Horses of Fire is a feminist retelling of the Trojan War from the point of view of its famous women, whose stories we may have heard but whose thoughts and desires we have sorely missed, until now. In this enthralling version of the story, the women of Troy, queens and servants alike, bend the course of history as they work together in secret and solidarity. Full of surprises, gorgeous and thrilling."

Not Alone (2023)
Sarah K Jackson
"Sarah K. Jackson's Not Alone is an ode to ferocious power of motherhood, even in the face of Earth's utter devastation. Part dire warning, part love song, Not Alone explores how, like a tree bending toward sunlight, life may endure if our worst climate nightmares become reality. Haunting, endearing, and captivating."
