I've read this book and enjoy it. My 6 year old daughter has heard all the stories and wants to be read them again and again every night. There are few books that can achieve the combination: international, non-fiction, positive role-models, engaging. I hope the authors will create a second volume and create an Audible.com version so we can listen to it in the car.

"It is important that girls understand the obstacles that lie in front of them. It is just as important that they know these obstacles are not insurmountable. That not only can they find a way to overcome them, but that they can remove those obstacles for those who will come after them."What an amazing project! This book features 100 stories about revolutionary, smart, strong, powerful, charismatic, talented and fearless women and girls throughout history. Pirate Queens and Marine Biologists, Pa...

I recently read Bad Girls Throughout History by Ann Shen and was naturally craving for more when I came across this equally fantastic collection of extraordinary women.Illustrated by sixty female artists from every corner of the globe, Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls introduces us to one hundred remarkable women and their extraordinary lives, from Ada Lovelace to Malala, Elizabeth I to Serena Williams. Empowering, moving and inspirational, these are true fairy tales for heroines who definitel...

Such a beautiful book I can see why it’s the most funded book in crowd funding history. 100 stories of inspirational women aimed at young girls and young adults but so much here to learn fir us older adults too. I loved this

If I could give this more stars, I would.Yes, I know the title indicates this book is for rebel girls. I am a mother of two fairly rebellious boys - but felt it was every bit as relevant for them as it was for females! After all, why shouldn't boys read about fabulous, inspirational women too?This book is an absolute thing of beauty - 100 accessible, creatively written tales of women who helped to shape the world we live in. The illustrations are superb, and it hits just the right note with my t...

This is difficult to review because, while I loved the artwork and the lovely cover, some of the historic people that were featured in this book are very controversial. Many of them are not fit to be held up as role models for young girls! Pirates, shady politicians, drug addicts, tyrants from Ancient History, and downright gross people; I counted 19 bios out of 100 that I had serious problems with, and which I would never allow a child to read about.I liked the bios of the decent people, like H...

This is a seriously cool book. It's the brain-child of two women (I use the word "women" lightly; they each look about 17 on the website) who run the "Timbuktu Labs," which is described as a "children's media innovation lab," which may or may not be a non-profit. I'm thinking not. Their website did not help me confirm or deny.I'd feel better about the whole thing if it WERE a non-profit, because, frankly, the book is pricey and I have a few complaints about it, but for now I want to get back to

This hardback book, is definitely one of the most beautiful books that I own. Just a glance at the front cover honestly makes you just want to read it. I just wish, I could give this book more than five stars.First of all, this book indicates that it is for "Rebel girls" As this may be true, it is also extremely relevant for boys aswell. I think both sexes should read this book and celebrate remarkable and inspirational women.This book contains 100 stories about strong, fearless, motivating , in...

This is one of the most beautiful books I own! So inspiring and a must-read for all young girls and women!

What a phenomenal book. Honestly, I expected this to be somewhat gimmicky - I'm a passionate feminist, and a lot of these types of girl power books/projects are - but I was sort of bowled over by my how emotional my reaction was to the acknowledgement of these extraordinary women from all over the world pursuing all different paths. If you've considered reading this but have been hesitant for some reason, I'd say it's more than worth it.

A great collection of stories of extraordinary women that I would like to know more about. I would love to see several of these stories be made into film. That said, the stories are short! 1 page each + plus one page with an illustration of the person it's about. I know this book is aimed at kids 6 and up, but I think we underestimate kids and I would have love to see the stories a couple of pages longer at least.

I was so excited to read this! What an inspiring little book it is!I did love how straight to the point this book was. It absolutely inspired me to research some of the women who really inspired or interested me, but I do wish that we focused on each woman a little bit more, maybe resulting in less women in the book, but carried on into the sequel. This was because in a few cases I felt like I was lacking the weight of their achievement because it didn't have a load of context. Its understandabl...

The subtitle of this collection is 100 Tales of Extraordinary Women, and it is beautifully done. The short passages cover every continent and every race, religion, and sexuality…that is, the stories are about girls and women with lesbians and transgender individuals identifying as female included. It is ravishingly interesting. Each short passage is a tightly written biography suitable for 9-14 year-olds, informative, and inspiring. Many unusual job descriptions and lifelong purpose are describe...

Absolutely brilliant.

this is such a great book to give to young kids (no matter what their gender is) because of how important it is to highlight the lives and accomplishments of those incredible women and because of how accessible the writing and presentation are. also, the illustrations were simply gorgeous

RATING: 4 STARS(Review Not on Blog)This is a fabulous book, period. It is great for both children and adults (of any gender). The artwork is so gorgeous, I want to buy another copy just to frame the pages. The book has great women from history and present that have been brave and smart. Each woman has a page write-up and is great for story time. Rebel girls not only entertains and provides history but also gives women a place in history they so long have deserved. I highly recommend this book!

Ordered this book through Kickstarter. Meant to give it to one of my nieces, but I loved it too much to give away :) This is the book I wished I had owned when I was a young girl. An amazing book of stories all about successful women. I love that the book is global - women come from all cultures and nations. The book is in English (I think it's available in many languages) for me, but the stories represent such a range of experiences. My only criticism is that some of the stories don't have quit...

This book is beyond beautiful: the cover, the gorgeous illustrations, and the overall design! That being said, I have some problems with it and I cannot blindly give this a 5* review.First of all, some of the women featured here are not actually fit to be role models, and therefore to be in this book, especially one that is dedicated to young girls. Some of them are quite controversial and presented in such a biased, ridiculously cheerful, and positive way, that they end up sending a misguided m...

Based on other reviews from y wonderful GR friends, I gave copies of this book to my cousin's, nieces and granddaughters. I'm already getting rave reviews. Actually, we are setting up a family weekly book club to discuss. My heart is full. This is a perfect time to help young women find their voices. ❤️🙂

Love this book - bought it for my daughter and although she is still too young to understand I just love the idea to read stories of great women to her instead of the princess stories. Don't get me wrong I am a sucker for fairy tales but I want to engourage her from the beginning to have the faith in herself that she can be whatever she wants :D
