- Gender equality
- International women’s issues
- Global poverty
- Countries where our grantees operate
- Women’s history and accomplishments
- Memoirs/biographies of strong women who changed the world
We use Goodreads to share, review, and discuss books. Goodreads is the world’s largest site for readers and book recommendations. Together Women Rise’s volunteer Moderators post books regularly and generate online discussions.

Together Women Rise Big Read Events

Inspiring Books for Young Readers
The Together Women Rise Book Club Committee has put together a list of book recommendations for the young people in your life. Books have been suggested for different age groups, from toddlers to teens, and include stories about girls’ empowerment, young changemakers, and the different cultures and countries where Rise supports women and girls. Any of these books would make great holiday gifts for children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, or any young person in your life!
