To offer an alternative to nightly Netflix binges, we are excited to share some of our favorite books and podcasts about and by women. We asked our Morgan Stanley leaders to share their latest reads and listens celebrating the gifts and accomplishments of inspiring females throughout history. The list includes something for everyone—from gripping memoirs and autobiographies to memorable novels and even children’s books—so we hope you enjoy!
