100+ Go-Girl Picks for Women's History Month
Books, games, movies, and more to inspire girls.
Parents know how challenging it can be to find positive role models for kids, especially their daughters. And with such a wide range of entertainment options -- from streaming TV to downloadable music to apps -- it can be tough to choose figures you both agree on. You can start by showing your daughter how pop culture icons such as Beyoncé rely on hard work and creativity to dominate the music world or how Sheryl Sandberg is fearlessly paving the way for women in business.
Even fictional characters can have a positive influence on kids' aspirations. The rise of TV shows such as CSI and Bones, which feature strong, smart, self-reliant female role models, has been credited with a spike in enrollment in forensic sciences. So whether you're looking for celebrities or inspirational characters, here are more than 100 media picks to encourage the next generation of women to follow their dreams and become leaders in their fields.
