Despite her narrow gubernatorial loss in 2018, Stacey Abrams emerged as a powerful political force heading into this November’s election. In Our Time Is Now, Abrams lays out her blueprint to empower people to tap into the power of their voice to enact change and shares her blueprint to push for progress through her voting rights advocacy organization Fair Fight Action. As #100 on our Most Powerful Women List this year, Abrams represents the continued shifts in political influence and the new forms of collective power outside of traditional structures.

In Untamed, beloved author and activist Glennon Doyle chronicles the latest chapter in her journey of self-awakening, including the breakdown of her marriage and finding love with her now-wife, soccer legend Abby Wambach. Doyle’s memoir isn’t a doctrine of saccharine self-improvement. Instead, she encourages readers to shed the social constraints and expectations of the “should do’s,” and embrace our most authentic self, including the raw imperfections. “When a woman finally learns that pleasing the world is impossible, she becomes free to learn how to please herself,” writes Doyle. Untamed is a story of what happens when women find their inner voice, the bravery required to listen to it, and the power that’s unlocked when we tap into and trust it.

If we hope to achieve a more equitable future, according to Eve Rodsky, we first have to solve for the centuries-old burden of caregiving and domestic responsibilities that women still shoulder despite having careers outside of the home. The pandemic has only exacerbated these demands, making the invisible, unpaid labor women struggle with finally visible. For anyone who feels like they’re drowning in domestic workload or wants to say goodbye to arguments set off by who’s supposed to empty the dishwasher, Rodsky offers a fresh, compelling guide to tackling these inequities. Rodsky draws on her Harvard Law School training and years of organizational management experience to end the gendered division of labor at home by sharing her “gamified” system to split household labor and rebalance families at this critical juncture.

In a year of reckoning around race and culture, this groundbreaking cookbook plays a critical role in expanding the conversation around cuisines often overlooked or conflated by the U.S. food industry. Hawa Hassan spoke with “bibis,” or grandmothers, from 8 countries both to learn their recipes and to provide a journalistic account of the diverse cultures of the East African coast. Through their stories and anecdotes, Hassan also shines a light on the African immigrant experience in America and the power of food to forge community at home and abroad.

Despite being the backbones of family and culture, women’s voices and particularly black women’s voices, have too often been left out of the food space. In speaking with the 16 matriarchs within her book, Hassan celebrates their influential role in the kitchen and our cultures.
