We first published this post during March for National Crafting Month and Women’s History Month, and we’re bringing it back because we’ve got flowers on the brain, and there’s no time like the present to create your own handmade daffodils from Crepe Paper Flowers by Lia Griffith. While you work, listen to audiobooks about women (real and fictional) who follow their passions and break molds despite curveballs, challenges, and tragedies.

In this insightful audiobook, writer, narrator, and illustrator Mari Andrew explores all the emotions that make up a life, the meaning of home and the challenges of loneliness, finding love in the most unexpected of places, and a resounding case for why sometimes you have to put yourself in the path of magic. My Inner Sky empowers us to transform everything that’s happened to us into something meaningful.
Inspired by true accounts, Sunflower Sisters provides a vivid, detailed look at the Civil War experience, from the barbaric plantations, to a war-torn New York City, to the horrors of the battlefield. It’s a sweeping story of women caught in a country on the brink of collapse, in a society grappling with nationalism and unthinkable cruelty.
“…The journeys of Jemma and the Woolsey sisters will have readers celebrating those who came before us, who fought for what they knew was right, and became timeless women ahead of their times.”—Lisa Wingate
