Hi All,
My DD is lacking in confidence a little and I would really like to get her some books, maybe podcasts and/or tv recommendations to help her understand feminism. The power and strength of being a woman and how to feel more confident in herself.
thank you!

There have been quite a few 'amazing women of history' type of books, OP.

This site, though US based, has some good recs:

I know it's not what you asked for, but people often say that learning a sport or martial arts or something similar can help with confidence.

HerStory is a pretty good one with a sensible selection of famous women

And "Things A Bright Girl Can Do" is good (possibly older age group - features kissing).

This book is not specifically about feminism but is very good on political activism - my kids read & re-read bits of it

but confidence mostly comes from actually being part of something or being good at something, so clubs or sports or art or something.

There is a male in it whose achievments are liking glitter and bullying his way into girls toilets.
Ironically named Coy.
