101 Books by Black Women for Black History Month

If you're looking for book recommendations for Black History Month, here's a place to start.
The authors are African American women and some Black women from elsewhere in the world.
The books are mostly novels with a few poets, and some notable Nonfiction as well.
I limited the list to one book per author so you can find some new authors to check out.
