Here are a few titles I ran into:
- Power in Numbers: The Rebel Women of Mathematics: this book seems to be a compilation of biographies detailing the contributions of various female mathematicians
- The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage: a graphic novel on Lovelace and Babbage and their development of the Analytical Engine

Here is the site I found these recommendations on:

Here are a few historical titles I ran into:
- Power in Numbers: The Rebel Women of Mathematics
- The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage (graphic novel)
- Proving it her way: Emmy Noether, a Life in mathematics.
- My Remarkable Journey: A memoir by Katherine Johnson

They are all appropriate for public reading (i.e. they do not assume any special knowledge). I found some of these books on this site which includes several others, including options for children:  https://aperiodical.com/2020/03/iwd-2020-books-about-maths-by-women/
