In honor of Women’s History Month, the Builden team joined forces to create a list of our favorite female artists and authors.

The team wore purple, which symbolizes justice, dignity and visionary thinking, and shared our favorite inspiring books, art, movies and organizations that support or were created by women. We appreciate that women’s history embraces all women, including people of diverse gender identities.
