Happy Women’s History Month! 💓✨

We wanted to kick it off by celebrating two women authors whose work we’ve been loving lately! Our upcoming episode’s book is also written by a woman, but more on that soon! 👀

“Nuclear War” by Annie Jacobsen is suspenseful, terrifying, and fascinating! There is only one scenario other than an asteroid strike that could end the world as we know it in a matter of hours: nuclear war. This Pulitzer Prize finalist explores this ticking-clock scenario, based on dozens of exclusive interviews with military and civilian experts who have built the weapons and been privy to the response plans. This book is essential reading, and unlike any other book in its depth and urgency! ⚠️

“The Women” by Kristin Hannah tells the story of an incredibly brave young woman who chooses to join the Army Nurse Corps after her brother is shipped out to serve in Vietnam. The war itself is brutal but a real battle lies in coming home to a changed and divided America, to angry protestors, and to a country that wants to forget Vietnam. Written in Hannah’s signature style, this book is sure to break your heart and lovingly stitch it back together. 🇻🇳

We wanted to highlight two books written by women on subjects not usually associated with women. Although women are oftentimes at the forefront during war and conflict, our stories are rarely written about or written by women.

Which of these two incredible books will you be picking up during Women’s History Month?! 📚
