Let's face it, you are not going to get your little girl reading some super intense novel when she's like three or four BUT you can get her into a

book about a strong willed pig named Olivia. This piglet is always going out and standing up on her own two feet like a boss. She's a great

start for this literary journey.

Once your daughter enters elementary school, get her this Roald Dahl classic. This bookworm  was one of my personal heroes as a kid because while she was just

a pint-sized kid, she was never afraid to stand up to those who looked down upon her and thought she was nothing more than a little girl.

This is a must for preteens everywhere. You can splurge on eBay for the whole collection, or just get her the first five or so here,

either way what she'll learn from these stories is not only friendship and how to deal with bratty kids on the job, but how to be an entrepreneur. These girls

were like 12 and 13 and made a lucrative business ya'll!

Another one for the growing girl from Judy Blume, this book teaches you that your body is not weird and to be open about all the changes you're

going through.

So when The Hunger Games got popular I didn't realize how violent it was. So hold off on this one until they're in high school. Then let them

loose because Katniss Everdeen is like Wonder Woman with a bow and arrow. She does what's right for those she loves and doesn't back down from a challenge, be it

physical or mental.

The next two books are for when you're sending off into the world. College can be tough but the first friend she should make there is Mindy Kaling via

href="http://theconcernsofmindykaling.com/is-everyone-hanging-out-without-me/" target="_blank">Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns). There isn't anyone alive who reads this and doesn't walk away a better human.

While in college she should also take notes while going through the pages of Felicia Day’s You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) because here you get a

story of endurance from a girl who took a less than normal life and made something happen for herself, proving you don't have to walk the same path as everyone

to make it.

Being a legit grown up can be hard and we can fall into a rut, especially after college. While this book is great to read at any age - make

sure she reads this between 20 and 80. A vague timeline, but you can be sure she'll feel nothing but empowered by every word Shonda Rhimes has provided

on those pages.

There are certain expectations placed upon women and not every single woman in this world is going to abide by them. That's when Saturday Night Live alum Rachel

Dratch comes in. Childless until she was in her 40's, this book showcases living your own way - even if it's not what society had planned for you.
