Book Recommendations from Women In GIS

Coming in 2022! A virtual Book Club!  Stay tuned for details. 

At our December 2020 Mugs & Mornings meetup we talked about books that made an impact on us. Attendees had many wonderful suggestions! A few recommendations are not actually books but are still great resources, so they are included as well.
