BookBrowse has a particular weakness for strong women, we love their grit despite overwhelming odds, their courage to stay the course no matter what. In this issue, we celebrate fierce girls, including Poornima and Savitha in Girls Burn Brighter, an illuminating novel for adults that shows how nothing can smother fiery determination; and Zarin, in the YA debut, A Girl Like That set in Saudi Arabia. Then we learn about women in American history in The Radium Girls and The Women's Hour. All this, and so much more to explore in this week's packed issue!
