As moms, we want to raise strong, confident girls who know they can do anything. Teaching them about women’s history isn’t just about remembering the past - it’s about showing them what’s possible. From scientists and activists to artists and leaders, women have shaped the world in powerful ways.
Here are easy and meaningful ways to teach your daughters about the incredible women who paved the way!
Books are a fun and easy way to introduce history to kids. Whether your daughter is a toddler or a teen, there are so many inspiring books about fearless women.
For young kids:
📖 I Dissent: Ruth Bader Ginsburg Makes Her Mark – A great book about standing up for what’s right.
📖 She Persisted by Chelsea Clinton – Short stories about incredible women in history.
For older girls:
📖 Hidden Figures (Young Readers Edition) – The inspiring true story of Black female mathematicians at NASA.
📖 Little Leaders: Bold Women in Black History – A must-read about trailblazing Black women.

Sometimes, seeing history come to life is the best way for kids to connect with it. Make it a family movie night and watch films featuring strong female leads!
🎥 Brave – A Disney movie about courage and independence.
🎥 Hidden Figures – The true story of three Black women who helped NASA send astronauts to space.
🎥 Harriet – A great pick for older kids about Harriet Tubman’s bravery and leadership.
Not all heroes are famous! Talk to your daughters about the strong women in your own family. Did Grandma go to college at a time when many women didn’t? Is Auntie running her own business?
Encourage your kids to ask questions and learn about the history within their own family.
💬 Ask: “What do you admire most about the women in our family?”
Let’s show our daughters that their dreams are possible! If they love science, introduce them to women like Mae Jemison, the first Black woman in space. If they love sports, share the story of Wilma Rudolph, the Olympic track star.
👩🎨 Love art? Learn about Frida Kahlo and have a painting day!
👩⚕️ Into medicine? Read about Dr. Patricia Bath, a Black woman who revolutionized eye surgery.
🧵 Love fashion? Share the story of Ann Lowe, the Black designer who created Jackie Kennedy’s wedding dress!
Our daughters learn the most by watching us. If we show confidence, kindness, and resilience, they’ll do the same. Talk about the women who inspire you, support other women, and remind your daughters that they can do anything.
