28 Books Every Woman Should Read

A friend once told me she never reads the same book twice because she's already stressed out that she'll never live long enough to read all the books she wants to read. As someone who has the habit of re-reading my favorite books, her opinion on the topic stuck with me, because it's true: none of us will live long enough to read all the books we want to read because there are just too many!

But while that may be the case and may occasionally keep my friend up at night, there are some books that we shouldn't just want to read, but need to read. From old to new, authors you may have never heard of before to novels you may have had to read in 10th grade, here are 28 books every woman have on her bucket list.
