Editorial Reviews

Review

"Reading can inspire you to do great things—what a great gift for a preteen! This series features boundary-breaking women and includes stories about some who have moved me the most—like Toni Morrison. They even included me!" - Oprah says on OprahDaily.com

"I hope this beautiful book will continue to inspire girls to set high goals for themselves—because you don't need to be an adult to change the world." - Malala Yousafzai


"This amazing book shows young girls they can be anything they want." - Melinda Gates

"When I want to impart the message to my daughter that she can aspire to anything, be whoever she needs to be, the opinions of others be damned, this book becomes an inspiration." - The Guardian

"The anti-princess book teaching girls to rebel." - BBC News

"A welcome reminder to girls that nothing stands in their way - except a lack of self-belief. This book started as a crowd-funded project and has become a best-seller which is the best news of the year." - Daily Mail

"Elegant, colourful... and captivatingly told... In an ideal world, not only would mothers read this aloud to daughters, but teachers would read it to schoolboys." - Sunday Times

"A must-have for the nightstand of every girl or young woman you know." - Forbes

"Modern and fundamentally feminist, this riot grrrl reinvention of the fairytale is so inspiring adults are also reading it in droves." - i Newspaper

"You have to buy it for the little ones in your lives, but you also need a copy for your grown-up bookshelf... There is serious girl power between the covers of this book." - Bustle

Beautiful, and worth it.
My 8-year-old daughters enjoy the portraits, and learning about when the girls live(d) the most. Every story leaves us time for some extra conversation about why the individual is important for women. We also like taking turns choosing who to read about.This book gives families a great opportunity to talk about women's places in the world, past, present, and future. We love the diversity too - and it's beautiful.

My 5 year old daughter likes the stories, and one page each person makes it easier for her to read herself.

I brought the book to our Daisy Girl Scout troop meeting where they earned a badge about being courageous and strong. We started by playing Bold Maid (which I also recommend). Someone asked who Amelia Earhart was. My daughter grabbed the book and started reading her page! Then another girl wanted to read a page out loud! And two other girls wanted the book themselves! This book was a big hit for 5-7 year olds!

During the troop meeting, the book and Bold Maid game prompted conversations about what world leaders like Angela Merkel do and how did Helen Keller walk around school if she was blind and deaf. The girls shared personal stories of how they got back up on their bikes or skates when they fell, and joined a t-ball team even though they were nervous. The meeting was a big hit! The book is awesome!

My 8 year old daughter picked this up during a day out at the museum. It was a semi-random grab (could have been most anything in the gift shop). Then we sat down on a bench outside and REALLY took a good look. That's when we fell in love.
We read this book at bed time.
My daughter used the book to select her inventor for a school project where she studied, the dressed up and acted out being Grace Hopper.
We bought the second book.
And now we bought more copies of this book, as gifts for some of her friends' (8/9 birthdays, etc.)

It's amazing how frequently we are watching a movie or such and my daughter will yell something like "Joan Jett/May Angelou/Ruth Bader Ginsberg...she's in my Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls book!"

5.0 out of 5 stars Love This Book!

This is an excellent choice for young readers and is also a lot of fun if you are teaching a young person to read. I have two 4 year old nieces who are not yet reading on their own, but they love having these stories read to them and they love the beautiful and creative illustrations of each woman or girl featured.

I have learned a lot even I didn't know from reading this book to them. I love that it is instilling them with the awareness that women and girls have done important and critical work throughout time, all over the world. I feel confident that this is setting them up to be critical thinkers later on in life when they will likely encounter history classes that will only tell them what men in history have done.

This book is very nicely put together. It is good and heavy with a heavy duty wipe-clean exterior finish. The interior bookplate sheet is especially nice if you are planning to give this as a gift, as I did. It also includes a ribbon bookmark to help little people find where they left off. I would absolutely recommend this book for all young children.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good in the Main But Leans Left
Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2023

Having my nine year old read a couple to me each night and she is really enjoying the content. There are so many varied and interesting examples from around the world that the entries have sparked a lot of good conversation.

Having said that, there was one entry we skipped over as I think it is very inappropriate for my daughter (not to mention the even younger readers who according to these reviews are reading). The book draws from more of a leftest cast rather than highlighting some likely candidates who were pioneers or achieved greatly but perhaps not according to the current in vogue view of "correctness." This leads to some interesting choices: Hillary Clinton but not Condolezza Rice; Ruth Bader Ginzburg but not the first woman appointed to the Supreme Court Sandra Day O'connor; no mention of Golda Meir. In fairness, Margaret Thatcher has an entry but her paragraphs include a line that "she wanted to take school lunches away from kids." Really. Also, the business sector is largely ignored. There are a lot of women entrepreneurs and business leaders who would be great examples for girls in our (still!) market economy.

All in all I am glad I bought it. However, the book could have been a broader example set had were it less biased.
