Diverse Historical Fiction Novels About REAL American Women
Hi all, I'm making a reading list for myself about influential American women from every period of American history. They don't have to be the most famous person of the decade, but real people who somehow made a mark on history.
However, I'm having trouble finding novels based on true stories about women of color. For instance, I can find plenty of novels about fictional Japanese American women who were interned during WW2, but not stories about the influential women who fought the internment legally and made history. Same with Native Americans, Asian Americans, and Latinx Americans. There are a great number of novels about black women who made history, which I have on my list, though feel free to recommend more!
I don't want to read biographies. Memoirs are ok, but I'd really prefer novels about real American women. Could you help me out? Thanks!
