On Wednesday 8th March we celebrate International Women's Day (IWD). The theme for 2023 is to Embrace Equity, and the aim is to get the world talking about why equal opportunities aren't enough on their own, because not everybody starts from an equal place. IWD raises awareness for this theme and celebrates success stories and achievements made by women from around the world. However, as teachers, we also have a duty to teach all our pupils about strong female role models. Here are some amazing books that will enable you to do exactly that and some teaching resources to use immediately too.
