I second Kate Moore’s The Woman They Could Not Silence and many of the other books mentioned above. Madame Restell: The Life, Death, and Resurrection of Old New York’s Most Fabulous, Fearless, and Infamous Abortionist is another that is woman centric but the topic of abortion could be too devisive for a book club. I found it fascinating and tragic to look at the world before birth control.
How about The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper by Hallie Rubenhold. This was very little about the crimes, but centered on the lives lived before their murders.
Also highly recommend Fire Weather: On the Front Lines of A Burning World by John Valliant. No woman focused, but a fabulous read. Our book club members were all enthusiastic.
