We feed our bodies daily, but in our busy lives we often forget to feed our minds. Each time we read and retain knowledge we grow new neural networks in the brain, helping us reduce stress, sleep better, improve our memory and vocabulary, and become better communicators, among many other benefits. Here’s a list of books by amazing females to get you fired up about sliding down the reading rainbow.
