Her Next Chapter Mother-Daughter Book Clubs

Female-centric, girl-empowering movies are also key for mother-daughter book clubs of the type suggested in Her Next Chapter. Modern clubs often enjoy the option of discussing movies as well as books. Among the list of Girl Empowerment Resources you will find compilation books and online marketplaces with large numbers of positive movie recommendations for girls. There is no need for me to duplicate them.

What you will find right here is a short, targeted, and well-curated list of some of my favorite movies for girls. They vary by genre and MPAA ratings. More of my favorites, many presented with my own reviews and discussion guides, can be found in Her Next Chapter.
