Gender Equality Bookstore

A collection of books to foster gender equality and multiculturalism for girls and boys 

In association with Amazon.com Bookstore


Are you looking for good books that help children to break through gender stereotypes and be true to themselves?

This bookstore allows you to buy from the complete Brave Girls and Strong Women book list of over 80 exciting, empowering books for young people ages 2-17, all from small publishers dedicated to creating a world of equality. Most of these wonderful treasures are hard to find in bookstores and libraries, but now you can buy them easily.

Many of these books are multicultural as well! We have folktales, fiction and nonfiction about a wide range of cultures, including African-American, Asian-American, Hispanic-American, Native American, and more!

There's also a list of books for adults about how to raise strong, confident girls.

Boys suffer from gender stereotypes, too. While girls might stifle their opinions in order to be socially acceptable, boys tend to stifle their emotions. See Helping Boys Break Out of Gender Stereotypes to find books that help boys with this issue.

These books can help girls and boys develop a healthy self-esteem by showing them that they do not need to be limited by gender expectations.

We also have FREE study guides for some books on the site. These study guides can be used by teachers, book group leaders, and parents, to add extra educational value when reading these books.
