OT book recommendation:
New Rules of Lifting for Women
My library has the ebook if you want to try before you buy it, but it's definitely well worth owning this book. In addition to being very educational about weight lifting as a whole it has full workouts that you can do at home just as well as at the gym. You start on the absolute beginner level and work your way up over several months. Personally, I found the book worth owning just for the chapter with various recipes for food that helps with the muscle building part.
Lifting heavy is fun!
