Matriarch Makover Library

We must be willing to constantly learn, for the world is always changing.

Shared knowledge is how we understand the world around us, both collectively and as individuals. If we can find the strength to invite new information and perspectives, while also questioning the context and source of them, we can build stronger communities where each person has a purpose and role to play. Many of the books in this library have helped me along my own journey, and have helped others who recommended some of them to me. Please reach out if you have a book you’d like to see added to this library.

Most of the links are to Amazon, so that you can at least see what the cover looks like and read a description if it’s available. I invite you to look for more information elsewhere as well as support independent book sellers.
