These are our top audiobook picks to feel inspired and filled with orgullo.
Plantas Abuelas by Claudia Rodríguez and Lara Becerra
If you’re a plant lover like many of our editors and bask in the magic of plants, you’re going to love this audiobook. It’s no coincidence we selected it as our hero title of the month. Narrated by Marina de Tavira, Academy Award nominee for her role in Roma, this Audible Original is a documentary that takes us on a deep journey through Mexico, connecting us back to our roots. Each chapter weaves insights from various women and ancestral voices, sharing their knowledge of the land, legends, and the hurdles they face, offering a profound understanding of how our bond with the earth and each other can shape our future. It’s also an homage to the companionship and healing properties of our plants.

Hilde Krüger by David Gaitán
Like any true Scorpio, our Editor-in-Chief, Yamily Habib, loves a good suspense, especially when it’s based on true events. This wild, stranger-than-fiction audiobook narrated by a cast including Gael Garcia Bernal will have you on the edge of your seat. Imagine a German actress is forced into espionage by the Nazis to save her career. While she’s rubbing elbows with high society in Los Angeles, she infiltrates the political elite in Mexico and sends information back to the German government. Things take an unexpected twist when Hilde begins to question Nazi ideology. Then everything changes.

Chicana Movidas by various authors
Before we had girl bosses or modern hashtags for chingonas, we had movidas. These were the revolutionary tactics of Chicana feminists who redefined activism. This audiobook is the ultimate manual for every modern Latina. Our editors were blown away by this collection of essays and testimonies that highlight how these women navigated the intersections of race, class, and gender. Additionally, it challenges the standard “Chicano Movement” narrative by placing women’s leadership and queer theories front and center. If you want to understand the intellectual and political legacy we’ve inherited, this anthology is essential listening for Women’s History Month.

La posibilidad es tu superpoder by Victoria Alonso
We can’t stop recommending this audiobook around our newsroom because it’s just too powerful. Victoria Alonso is the definition of a jefa and the epitome of a superwoman. Her origin story, moving from a dictatorship-era Argentina to becoming one of the most powerful executives in Hollywood at Marvel Studios, is beyond inspiring. Alonso narrates the audiobook herself, giving us the hard-earned wisdom we all need year-round. We loved how this Audible Studios production uses the struggles of Marvel characters as a mirror for our lives, showing how to turn weaknesses into growth while staying true to ourselves.
1 Hábito Para Cambiarte La Vida by Mel Robbins
We’re obsessed with this one because, let’s be real, we’re usually our own harshest critics. Mel Robbins, the legendary author of The Let Them Theory, is back to tell us to stop cheering for everyone else and cheer for ourselves. Our editors loved the simplicity of this audiobook and its emphasis on supporting the most important person in your life—YOU. Every chapter provides a science-backed toolkit to evict that nagging critic in your head and build the kind of confidence you’ve always dreamed of. If you’re tired of watching everyone else get ahead while you’re stuck, Robbins’ signature wit and personal stories will kick you back into gear this 2026.
Sabiduría Familiar by Elizabeth Acevedo
Elizabeth Acevedo captures the magical, messy reality of Dominican American families like no one else. Which is why our editors loved this audiobook. The story centers on Flor, a woman who can predict exactly when someone will die, and decides to throw herself a living wake. This choice is met with skepticism by her sisters—Matilde, Pastora, and Camila—who are hiding their own secrets. Trust us when we say you won’t want to pause on this story that takes us between Santo Domingo and New York City in a generational portrait of the Marte women. It’s deep, beautiful, and full of family wisdom.
The Lost Story of Eva Fuentes by Chanel Cleeton
A Cuban immigrant myself, I love any story that brings Cuban history to the forefront—and Chanel Cleeton is amazing at it. This sweeping mystery bridges a century of secrets between three women throughout different timelines. First is Eva Fuentes, a Cuban writer studying at Harvard in 1900 Boston. Then, a librarian risking it all in Castro’s Cuba in 1960s Havana. And finally, an American expat in 2024 London, seeking the lost book that connects them all. This audiobook is an homage to book lovers and the power of women who refuse to be silenced.

Un Himno a la Vida by Gisèle Pelicot
We were all shaken by the harrowing sexual assault Gisèle Pelicot endured at the hands of her ex-husband for a decade. Instead of keeping silent, she’s transforming her story and shifting the tides of shame for sexual assault survivors. In 2024, Pelicot became a symbol of courage after waiving her anonymity to face the men who assaulted her, and now, for the first time, she’s sharing her side of the story in her own words. Our editors found this to be one of the most powerful memoirs of all time for the resilience shown by Pelicot. This audiobook makes us all witnesses to a life rebuilt after a decade of hidden abuse, and a rallying cry to transform how the world views sexual violence. It’s an unforgettable portrait of a woman who is reclaiming her voice and forcing a global reckoning.
Volar Libre by Cecilia Rodríguez Aragón
This incredible “against all odds” story is about to take you on a journey across the sky. Cecilia Rodríguez Aragón was a shy, timid child who was told, “Girls can’t do science” and “Women don’t know machines.” Thankfully, she didn’t listen and used math and logic to conquer her fears, becoming the first Latina pilot on the U.S. Unlimited Aerobatic Team. This audiobook will inspire you to overcome all fears and impostor syndrome as she shares how she overcame her “INTF” (Incompetent, Nerd, Terrified, Failure) feelings to beat the odds. And trust us, you don’t have to be a math whiz to enjoy her journey of jumping out of planes and designing an aircraft—you just have to want to soar above the status quo.
Badass Bonita by Kim Guerra
We’re wrapping up our list with the Spanglish anthem every modern guerrera needs. Kim Guerra, a therapist and poet, takes the machismo-rooted phrase “calladita te ves más bonita” and buries it for good. Her signature Spanglish style guides readers through shifting from self-silencing to revolutionary self-love. It’s a book for the mothers, daughters, and mujeres poderosas who are ready to heal their wounds and find their wings. It’s the perfect final note for our Women’s History Month power list.
