March is Women’s History Month, and March 8th is International Working Women’s Day. This year, women all over the world will demonstrate, strike, and continue to organize to highlight the struggles of women around the world. In solidarity, Haymarket Books offers a reading guide for those looking for the history, politics, and inspiration, to learn from past struggles for women’s liberation, and to participate in the many struggles to come:
