A book on strong women which compares Lady Gaga， Michelle Obama and Cleopatra， is something I never thought I would come across - but I adore nonetheless。 It is a fantastic way to teach children， especially girls， that you CAN be strong， you can be powerful and you can be respected！ Some of these women I had never heard of， but their stories are brilliant and are definitely ones that need to be shared with young girls to give them hope。 It also teaches parts of history from women's perspectives， A book on strong women which compares Lady Gaga， Michelle Obama and Cleopatra， is something I never thought I would come across - but I adore nonetheless。 It is a fantastic way to teach children， especially girls， that you CAN be strong， you can be powerful and you can be respected！ Some of these women I had never heard of， but their stories are brilliant and are definitely ones that need to be shared with young girls to give them hope。 It also teaches parts of history from women's perspectives， which is often missed in traditional history。The book itself is a great mixture of text （told in an engaging story format）， illustrations and bold colour， enough to keep the reader interested， whilst still providing enough information about each individual woman。 My favourite part was at the end of the book: there are activities for the child to complete to make them feel like THEY are a leader also！I would recommend this to all children aged 7+ （not only girls！）Massive thank you to Rebel Girls and Netgalley for providing me with a free ebook copy in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

This is a book that all young girls should read。 Many times we only see girls portrayed one way on TV or in books and so we grow up thinking we need to fit into that mold and then feel we are abnormal when we want to do something that is "not ladylike" or "not for girls" so we let go of those goals and dreams。 Books like this show that it is okay to not fit into the mold， that it is often better to break that mold and make ourselves who we want to be rather than what others think we should be。 T This is a book that all young girls should read。 Many times we only see girls portrayed one way on TV or in books and so we grow up thinking we need to fit into that mold and then feel we are abnormal when we want to do something that is "not ladylike" or "not for girls" so we let go of those goals and dreams。 Books like this show that it is okay to not fit into the mold， that it is often better to break that mold and make ourselves who we want to be rather than what others think we should be。 The stories in this book show just how much good can be accomplished by doing the unexpected and how that can help others as well。 I hope this is a book that parents read to their children， both boys and girls， to help them see that they shape who they want to be and not the other way around。Thank you， NetGalley for the chance to read this book！ 。。。more

This is a great and good compilation for rebel girls who lead。 Great for young readers who want to learn a lot in a short time。 Also good for some speaches in class， so the students can read a rather short article and learn how to even focus on the main parts as well。 And in addition to this I am totally in love with the art style in the rebel series。 I love looking at the pages。

I've been a big fan of the Rebel Girls series for a while， and I loved getting to read Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls volumes one and two and the 100 Immigrant Women Who Changed the World edition。 Rebel Girls Lead is a solid addition to the series， and it's sure to introduce kids to many of the incredible women leaders around today and in history。 This volume is a bit USA heavy compared to their other volumes， and I wasn't quite as smitten with it overall， but it was still a great little boo I've been a big fan of the Rebel Girls series for a while， and I loved getting to read Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls volumes one and two and the 100 Immigrant Women Who Changed the World edition。 Rebel Girls Lead is a solid addition to the series， and it's sure to introduce kids to many of the incredible women leaders around today and in history。 This volume is a bit USA heavy compared to their other volumes， and I wasn't quite as smitten with it overall， but it was still a great little book anyway， and I would still recommend it。 。。。more

A wonderfully inspiring book， not only for girls but for all。 The vivid illustrations add charm to the collection and make it for a lovable read。 These are tales of 25 amazing women who have shattered all kinds of ceilings， despite all adversities。 Though there is a diversity， I just wished they had also focussed non-American girls （16/25 were American）。 As an Indian， I really wished to see at leat one Indian woman。 There are so many Indian women who have done commendable work in various fields， A wonderfully inspiring book， not only for girls but for all。 The vivid illustrations add charm to the collection and make it for a lovable read。 These are tales of 25 amazing women who have shattered all kinds of ceilings， despite all adversities。 Though there is a diversity， I just wished they had also focussed non-American girls （16/25 were American）。 As an Indian， I really wished to see at leat one Indian woman。 There are so many Indian women who have done commendable work in various fields， and their stories would be an encouragement to many。 And hopefully in future editions they would feature trans women too。A must read for all！Thank you NetGalley for providing a copy in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

*Thank you to NetGalley & Rebel Girls for an e-ARC of this book*I'm a bit sceptical about reducing these women's achievements to one single page， especially when sometimes there's too much focus on their husbands and kids rather than the actual achieving。 Still， this seems like a great book to introduce kids to these absolutely amazing women and every elementary school should have this book in their library。 Also loved the diverse art styles， really beautiful！ *Thank you to NetGalley & Rebel Girls for an e-ARC of this book*I'm a bit sceptical about reducing these women's achievements to one single page， especially when sometimes there's too much focus on their husbands and kids rather than the actual achieving。 Still， this seems like a great book to introduce kids to these absolutely amazing women and every elementary school should have this book in their library。 Also loved the diverse art styles， really beautiful！ 。。。more

I have loved Rebel Girls since their beginning！ I supported their first book on Kickstarter and was so thrilled when it finally arrived。 These books are so expertly written， each vignette packed with information in a completely relatable and bite size way。 Even my 2 and 3 year old nephews can sit through a couple。 And the illustrations are so full of life and adventure！ These are some of my most favorite books！ I have learned so much from them！

This exceptional book follows the vein of the other Rebel Girls books we've read and loved - but it is focused on leaders。 I loved reading these aloud to my children & learning more about these phenomenal women including Harriet Tubman， Lady Gaga， Queen Elizabeth I， and Jacinda Ardern。 The illustrations， as always， are colourful and beautiful。 I absolutely LOVED the "what kind of leader are you？" questionnaire in the back of the book that truly inspires anyone to be aware of how they are already This exceptional book follows the vein of the other Rebel Girls books we've read and loved - but it is focused on leaders。 I loved reading these aloud to my children & learning more about these phenomenal women including Harriet Tubman， Lady Gaga， Queen Elizabeth I， and Jacinda Ardern。 The illustrations， as always， are colourful and beautiful。 I absolutely LOVED the "what kind of leader are you？" questionnaire in the back of the book that truly inspires anyone to be aware of how they are already a leader。 There are some great leadership training ideas at the back too！ All in all， such a fun book to go through and talk about with my little women who are already changing the world each and every day :） 。。。more

This is the second of these Rebel Girls books I've read and I've loved them both！！ These authors are great！ They're very diverse and inspiring。 I love the activities at the end ; I even took the What Kind Of Leader Are You quiz and I got Mostly C's。 The illustrations are amazingly well done and while I wish there was more information about some of these women it's a good introduction。 This is perfect for young people and I highly recommend it for your kids。 This is the second of these Rebel Girls books I've read and I've loved them both！！ These authors are great！ They're very diverse and inspiring。 I love the activities at the end ; I even took the What Kind Of Leader Are You quiz and I got Mostly C's。 The illustrations are amazingly well done and while I wish there was more information about some of these women it's a good introduction。 This is perfect for young people and I highly recommend it for your kids。 。。。more

I hadn’t heard of many of the women in this book so it was good to be introduced to these characters。 Some of them led remarkable lives but the style of writing， condensing these women’s lives and achievements down into just one page， meant that some of the remarkableness was lost。 I didn’t feel the wow factor when reading about them， which is a shame and is an opportunity lost。 I also felt that the collection was focused primarily on the USA， so people reading this in the UK， with little unders I hadn’t heard of many of the women in this book so it was good to be introduced to these characters。 Some of them led remarkable lives but the style of writing， condensing these women’s lives and achievements down into just one page， meant that some of the remarkableness was lost。 I didn’t feel the wow factor when reading about them， which is a shame and is an opportunity lost。 I also felt that the collection was focused primarily on the USA， so people reading this in the UK， with little understanding or knowledge about the American political system， may struggle to connect。Having said that， this would still be a useful book to have in any school or class library， in the hope that having read about one of these women， children may go and do further research about some of them。I received a free copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

When you are a girl， the word "weak" somehow glued to your image。 But look at these women！ Even some that I don't know suddenly got my admiration。"People will think you weak，"， "Your life worth nothing"， are some phrases we usually hear spoken to these women。 But what did they do when bullied？ They struggled more and reached out more。 When we were young， we were often asked what would we do when grown up？ Of course these amazing people inspired us， and their jobs are usually what we would do for When you are a girl， the word "weak" somehow glued to your image。 But look at these women！ Even some that I don't know suddenly got my admiration。"People will think you weak，"， "Your life worth nothing"， are some phrases we usually hear spoken to these women。 But what did they do when bullied？ They struggled more and reached out more。 When we were young， we were often asked what would we do when grown up？ Of course these amazing people inspired us， and their jobs are usually what we would do for life。 But remember， only those who fight more got more。 While complaining is not a sin， mostly， nevertheless these women struggled more than grumbling。 This is how they arrived to a place where you can see them shining bright。 。。。more
