My Favorite Underrated Books Written by BIPOC Women

Blurb: "One of my goals for Black History Month is to revisit my favorite books with strong female characters, as well as find some new book recommendations. It is very important to me to not only read books that discussed Black trauma but showed the success of Black women as well. I’m still trying to make my way through my Octavia Butler reading list, but I have to share with you guys some books that I think every woman should read. What all these books have in common is that they have Black women overcoming obstacles and still being brilliant. These books are in a variety of genres, so you can find something here whether you prefer fiction or nonfiction, short or long books.

If you’re looking for more diverse book recommendations, I highly recommend this link here. It’s a project run by Black women who are cataloging important books in Black history. What I love is that the books are sorted by a timeline of historical eras in publishing."
