2023 in Women’s Storytelling

For our final episode of 2023, we’re compiling a “best of” books and movies by female storytellers from the year. Jamie is an avid reader and Heather is a film enthusiast, so we’re sharing some of our favorite content we read and watched. In light of our recent episodes about Taylor Swift and the value of storytelling and creating by women, we thought we’d give you some next steps for where else to look in elevating and celebrating what women make. It was a great year for women, we’ve got lots of wonderful recommendations!
