This March, we invite you to join us in celebrating women everywhere! From breaking down barriers to inspiring us all, women have shaped our society in many ways and we want to share their stories.
To honour these strong role models, we’ve compiled a list of Audible.ca titles written by women that will motivate us all. Whether it’s Michele Romanow’s ground-breaking podcast, The Revisionaries, or Samra Habib empowering memoir, We Have Always Been Here, Audible.ca has something for everyone. No matter the day, we encourage you to choose a title and celebrate these movers, shakers and innovators through the power of listening.
