By Cheryl Burgess | Library Assistant III, Central Library Youth/Teen/Arts, Literature, Sports
March is Women's History Month. If you are looking for some graphic novels that show the empowerment of women, look no further than these novels:
This story starts Kamala Khan’s saga, a Pakistani-American girl from Jersey just trying to find her place in a world where she feels like she doesn’t belong. Kamala discovers her powers, and, along the way, also learns a lot about the person she is meant to be. While her powers seem too much for her to bear, can she find her inner hero within herself?
Here are some other great series of girls showing their strong side (these books are available for checkout at many Birmingham Public Library and Jefferson County Library Cooperative locations):
Unbeatable Squirrel Girl series is about a young girl who is half human and half squirrel but all fun! She fights villains with the help of her friends from the forest.
The Unstoppable Wasp is about a teenage super-scientist who is ready to change the world fighting one evil giant rat at a time.
Shuri, a character from the Black Panther series, is creating her own path and superhero image.
Don’t let the princess title fool you. She is not only a skilled martial artist, a genius, and a master of science and technology, she is also saving the world.
The series from author Nic Stone, known for her New York Times bestseller Dear Martin, has a new book - Shuri: The Vanished, released this year. Stone published the first in her Shuri Black Panther novel series last year.
