What do Lady Gaga, Harriet Tubman and Cleopatra all have in common? They're rebels!
I'm absolutely in love with the concept of the Rebel Girls series. I have gifted the "Good Night Stories" many times, but I'm a bit embarrassed to say this is the first I've sat down and read one myself. The "Rebel Girls Lead" installment is sort of greatest hits bonus collection, as it contains 14 previously-published stories plus 11 brand new ones.

Rebel Girls Lead is a small but solid volume in the growing "Rebel Girls" stable of biographies and stories of female empowerment, released to coincide with the inauguration of Kamala Harris as Vice President of the USA. This book focuses particularly on women who have assumed leadership roles, and over half of the biographies are repetitions from earlier books, including Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls: 100 Tales of Extraordinary Women and Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls 2.

This was a wonderful book for young children to learn about the accomplishments of diverse women such as Kamala Harris, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Lady Gaga, Aly Raisman, Malala Yousafzai, Pat Summitt, and Leymah Gbowee, to name a few. These dynamic women became leaders in many different ways and never gave up; some even risked their lives for their beliefs. The women’s short biographies were accompanied by beautiful illustrations and one of their many inspirational quotes.

An inspirational book for young girls.
- Excellent illustrations
- Inspiring read-ups on Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Lady Gaga, Malala Yousafzai, Kamala Harriss etc.
Some things that I kept thinking about:
- This isn't really Rebel Girls Lead but more of American Rebel Girls lead. There are hardly any girls from other places. Malala represents the whole of Asia! This is published in US and aiming American readers probably, with a very narrow lens of inspirational women. But I kept thinking about it, especi ...more

When will there ever be a Rebel Girls book for which I don't write the feedback as "fantastic"? Never!!!
I have read and loved the first three volumes of the Rebel Girls series and this special edition continues in the same format. The book informs little ones about 25 extraordinary leaders who had humble beginnings and worked hard to make their dreams come true. While some of the names are historical and some have been included in the earlier books, there are eleven noteworthy new names added in ...more

I really enjoyed this! This is a simple nonfiction book for young girls that has little snippets about female leaders. I really love the art style in these and how diverse the women in these are. I will say, I'm not the intended audience so while I do think that these are important and informative I don't think ill ever look back on it or remember much about it.

Rebel Girls Lead: 25 Tales of Powerful Women is another fantastic addition to what has grown from a series into a movement and mindset. In vibrant, eye-catching style the book lays out 25 inspirational stories of iconic women. The text is engaging and gives just enough information about the legends to bring them to life which the author hopes will start a fire burning inside of you knowing you can achieve great things just like these seasoned rebels and fostering a desire to perhaps pick up a bo

What I loved about Rebel Girls Lead:
1. These women in the book truly rock! They are inspiring and wonderful personalities. Every single one is introduced in one short page, but it's all the correct points and it reads great. Fast read too, kind of a coffee table book that way.
2. Beautiful illustrations! Every single one is done by a new artist and it brings a lot of freshness and color to the whole book.

I've read several titles of the "Little People, Big Dreams" series and love how they explain in few worlds and wonderful illustrations the biographies of famous people that accomplished something in their life.
While the "Little People, Big Dreams" books are clearly aimed at elementary school or even kindergarden, I thaught the "Rebel Girls" books were written for a slightly older audience, like Middle Grade. There is even a quiz at the end to test what kind of leader you are and a 'Leadership Tr ...more

This type of book is always an interesting thing to pick up every so often. They tend to introduce you to historical figures that you may not have otherwise heard of and prompts you to learn more about them on your own.

The Rebel Girls books have been on my TBR ever since the first one got announced, but I have sadly never gotten to them yet. After reading this mini edition, I will have to make it my priority to read them all, because it's so incredibly inspiring!

This is no different from the other Rebel Girl books in the way it is colorful, inspiring, and empowering, and even though I’m not exactly its target reader, I felt the message of the stories in this book deep in my heart and I wouldn’t hesitate to gift a copy of this to my young nieces. I liked that it tried its best to showcase women of different ages, ethnicities, nationalities, industries, and advocacy, and that the stories were written in simple language yet with great effect.

The authors of this collection have taken some earlier stories from earlier Rebel Girls stories, and combined them to honor Kamala Harris being elected vice president of the United States. It is such a glass ceiling breaking moment that they felt that they had to come out with her story and put out stories of other leading rebel girls.

What do Aly Raisman, Harriet Tubman, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg all have in common? They are all among the powerful women included in this book!
I absolutely adored learning about the lives of powerful women featured in Rebel Girls Lead. Some of the women featured I had already heard of, but there were some new faces (for me) that I got to learn about. Each story tells the tale of a female leader, and is accompanied by a portrait of them, all drawn by women! Rebel Girls Lead is incredibly inclusive ...more

Rebel Girls Lead - 25 Tales of Powerful Women gives us 25 women leaders in fairy tale form. It is part of the award-winning Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls series.

She and other amazing women mentioned are making (/made) history. Such beautiful stories of resilience, bravery and willpower.

I was a bit dumbfounded while reading this. It starts off well with Aly Raisman, Cleopatra, and Queen Elizabeth. Harriet Tubman and Leymah Gbowee show up a bit later with inspiring tales. But the vast majority of this book are liberal politicians and lawyers. I don't think there was even a thought about trying to hide the authors bias.
And I particularly "liked" how they mentioned that the Georgia gubernatorial race was lost because "her opponent made sure that lot of people (non-citizens?) weren ...more

I have been interested in reading some of these books for a while, I was so excited to get a copy of this from NetGalley! This was a brilliant collection of some of the most inspiring women, complete with beautiful illustrations and a variety of women, from Lady Gaga to Kamala Harris. I will 100% be buying a physical copy of these collections in the future as I would love to read them to my own children one day.

This was a great book that talked about female leaders and many people who have made an impact in history. Such as Lady Gaga, Michelle Obama, and many others. I highly recommend reading this book.
Another world class addition to the Rebel Girls books. Short stories about inspiring rebel girls who grew up to become rebel women, breaking glass ceilings.
This book gives a one page story about the 25 women who are leaders. Each story is paired with an illustration; these illustrations are by different female artists from all over the world. There are pages for readers to write their own stories and answer some questions.

I am the “adopted” Auntie of several girls from age 9 to age 21, and blood Auntie to several more, and this book makes me glad to be standing alongside all of these Rebel Girls, helping to be one voice to help guide them (even if I don’t often think I’m that much of a rebel!).
This book focuses on 25 Rebel Leaders in a way that is easily understandable and accessible for even young girls. It’s obviously very simplistic for girls who are older, but from the ages of about 5-10, this book would be a ...more
