Celebrate Women's History Month With Strong Gals & Girls!

You can find a lot of children's books with strong female characters here at RML, but these are some especially for Women's History Month. (No disrespect to Charlotte, Harriet, Junie B. and the March girls, I just figured you knew about them already!)
