The Library at Barefoot HQ

International Women’s Day 2023

At Barefoot Coaching we are proud to call ourselves a community of continuous learners. One of our favourite ways to expand our thinking and challenge what we ‘think’ we know about the world, is through reading.

The library at Barefoot HQ is full to the brim of books written by inspiring women, and in support of International Women’s Day 2023, we wanted to share some of our favourites with you.

Which books by inspiring female authors are top of your ‘must-read’ list?

See if you can spot the recommendation that came from Barefoot’s very own ‘Essex Girl’, Kim Morgan.
