Looking for history books on women and their stories. Nonfiction preferably but can be fiction if its based on a real story. Bonus points if it's WW2 or scientific stuff!
Example: The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
Example: Educated
A Midwife’s Tale by Laurel Thatcher Ulrich is good non fiction. It’s the story of Martha Ballard. There’s a new fictionalization of it called The Frozen River.
