Yesterday I was sittting with six amazing agile women and we were talking about books. We shared our best reads about anything agile and I realized, none of these were agile books by female authors except for Esther Derby, Diane Larsen and Linda Rising – of course Agile Retrospectives and Fearless Change.
List of agile books by female authors
I have been thinking about it a bit and came up with a few names, but I wasn’t happy with the outcome. So I wrote a tweet and sent it to some more amazing agile women on twitter: Which books by female authors/scholars about agile* do you recommend?
