I received an electronic ARC from Rebel Girls through NetGalley.
One-hundred more powerful stories of women who have changed our world. This volume focuses on immigrant women who made a difference in their chosen fields. One page biographies and full color illustrations bring these women to life for readers of all ages. A great read aloud for families and classes. Favilli has done significant research to share these women's stories. A glossary is included at the end of the book along with a two-page spread for a reader to write their own story.

Thank you to NetGalley for an advanced copy of Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls: 100 Immigrant Women Who Changed the World.

I really enjoyed this book- it introduced me to a lot of women I wasn't familiar with and gave a brief overview of their life. I loved the illustrations that went with the stories, they were absolutely stunning. Good Night Stories is full of a diverse group of woman and I was fascinated by a lot of them, but left wanting more detail. One page just isn't enough to accurately describe many of these women's accomplishments or stories. I think this is perfect for the age group it is geared for, and will encourage them to look up more about the women they are really interested in.

Admittedly, my family are huge fans of the Rebel Girls books & have supported them via Kickstarted. This book continues to highlight empowering women globally, and is beautifully illustrated. Highlighting the resillience, ingenuity, and talent of immigrants, along with the immense power that diversity brings to communities everywhere, is terrific, and timely. Well done, and thanks to Netgalley!

I received a copy of this book to review from Netgalley. Thank you for the opportunity.
This book was great and informative. It was my first time reading a goodnight book and I really enjoyed it. It coveted a range of stories from different countries and professions, giving an alternative take on immigration than the negative view that is usually seen. It was inspiring to read about the women featured in the book. This book would be a welcome additon to any child's bookshelf.

This is my first Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls book, and I'm so glad it was. Any book that highlights immigration and the great things immigrants bring to their new countries is a great one in my eyes. One of the best things I noticed about all the women featured is that the author doesn't just focus on American immigration. Yes, there are a lot of them, but there also are a significant number of women who have immigrated to other countries as well, and countries where Westerners don't really consider immigrating to - Cambodia and India being two examples that come to mind. I liked that it wasn't purely focused on how great the US is for opportunity, and there are other equally awesome places out there as well. I also liked that a fair number of the women featured immigrated when they were adults and their lives had already started. A lot of times we think about people who go to other countries when they are young or when they go off to school, but a number of women had children already and full lives that they were leaving behind. The women featured also came from a wide range of eras, with a few from the nineteenth century to many that are still alive and changing the world today.

Mostly what I want to talk about in this review is the clear effort the authors made for a huge (and I mean huge) variety of women and their backgrounds represented here. There are politicians and athletes and chefs and artists and activists and authors and scientists and chess players and bowlers and doctors and photographers and journalists and newspaper editors and fashion designers and architects and engineers and dozens more that I know I'm forgetting. It's not just high profile professions, but professions you might not have even realised existed (like a sports commentator for sumo wrestling). Not all of the women are famous either - I went to Google a veterinarian, and all that came up were Facebook profiles. There are also a wide range of disabilities represented and how they overcame their challenges to live full lives. The diversity in this book is INSANE. Which you would expect anyway with 100 featured women, but still very, very impressive. Most were women I had never heard of, but quite a few that I had, such as Anna Wintour, Ariana Huffington, Gloria Estefan, Lupita Nyong'o, and Rihanna!

All of the art in this book is beautiful and stunning, and as far as I could tell, each woman featured a different artist (although it's possible that some artists did more than one entry, each was credited on the specific page of the artwork). And, at the end when they are credited again as a group, the author calls them "people who identify as women", which makes me believe that there is a variety of identities represented in the art as well, which is great. The structure of the book was also ideal, with each woman getting a double spread - one side for bio, the other for her art. There is definitely a vibe that their brief summaries aren't their whole stories, and I ended up really wanting to know more about some of the women. But each woman gets equal ground, from a 99-year-old judoka with a whole lifetime of history, to a 25 year old activist who is just getting started. Additional bonuses in the book include space to write your own story, as well as a glossary of terms at the back. Overall, I loved this book, and now that I've finished it, I wish I had not gone through it quite as fast as I did and instead read it slowly, taking it all in. Every woman is inspiring, and it's difficult not to be completely overwhelmed with joy in how much power and possibility we can hold.

It is collection of nano biographies of influential females from diverse fields of life. These are immigrant ladies who have succeeded in spite of all odds.
It is collection of 100 such stories.
As it is s review copy so it didn't carry pictures of girls described.
And after few pages it feels like a telephone directory of 100 people with few random lines about what they have done.
It makes remembering individual girl hero difficult as well as reading predictable and mechanical.
I hope picture will make it much more enjoyable and connectable.
I was astonished to learn about all these true champions.
A good book but it should sound less like a telephone directory.

Thank you Net Gallery and to the publishers for providing me with a copy to review!

I loved this collection of short stories of the lives of inspiring women from all over the world and read it over two nights. Combined with the beautiful illustrations and the storytelling it felt as though our heroines were each telling me their stories whilst I was tucked up in bed!

I really enjoyed this book, I loved how the women overcome obstacles to accomplish what careers they wanted also loved that some parents were really supportive of their children. It is a powerful book which just shows what you can do if you put your mind to, definitely would read this to any future children I have.

Like all books in this series this one is fabulous. Well written, informative and colourful. It’s the perfect addition for a school library and I shall be ordering copies. Both my son and the children I teach go crazy for these books.

I love the Rebel Girls Series and there could not be a more timely addition for 2020. Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls: 100 Immigrant Women Who Changed the World is the perfect addition to any school, classroom or public library shelf, and I highly recommend owning it. This volume includes a brief summary of 100 awesome change-makers, some whose name you will recognize, some who will be new to you, but all you should know. Each story has some inspiration and many made me want to find a biography. There are meaningful quotations and fabulous illustrations. Arranged alphabetically, I found myself flipping ahead to names I knew and then stopping on a new rebel girl. Our local toy store held Rebel Girl Club meetings pre-Covid, and now I am inspired to try something virtually at our library for our young patrons. If you are looking for a book to gift, something to keep in the back seat of the car or your tote for your kids while you are waiting, this is the book for you!

This is an important addition to the series. Immigrants (girls or boys) need people to identify with and be inspired by. This book gives just enough information to make you want to learn more, which for a teacher is a great thing. Some of the biographies make better read-a-loud stories than others, but all are worth reading and getting to know

Another fabulous collection of stories about all the amazing women who've come before us, my children really enjoy hearing these at bedtime. Inspiring and educational in equal measure, this is a must for any child's bookshelf.

I really liked the first two parts of Rebel girls books, so I was very curious about the latest version, which features women - girls, who moved away from their birthplace. Once again, the selection is very colorful, from which we can get to know the life path of the people who worked in the 18th - 19th - 20th and 21st centuries very briefly. Again, several creative illustrations and portraits add color to the book.
I have heard of relatively few of the 100 women, so it was definitely worth reading this book. Again, there are several fascinating life stories in the book, which is a good starting point to get to know them further.
I especially liked that he also presents at least two Hungarian people, and there are also some Hungarian-related people in the stories.
I highly recommend to children and adults too!

Thanks to Rebel Girls for the DRC!

"No matter where you're from, your dreams are valid." - Lupita Amondi Nyong'o

I'm a big fan of the Rebel Girls books. I think this one just became my new favorite. Each page tells us a short story about a different woman who changed the world somehow. They tell us the country she was born, where she moved to and for what reason. The illustrations are absolutely beautiful.

These women, from all over the world, show us how important it is to believe in your dreams, in yourself, and never let the obstacles on your way stop you. We should never limit ourselves with just one culture. There’s so much we can learn from each other. They worked hard to help and inspire others. At times, they even had to fight alone, because no one else believed in them. But they did extraordinary things, that we're forever thankful for.

This book is intended for children, but I recommend it to everyone.
I also love how the last pages are blank, so the reader can complete it with your own story and portrait. This can be such a meaningful gift to someone. I love it.

This really is a wonderful read. The last I read in this series Good night stories for rebel boys, has been read and reread in our house and it made me so happy to hear my 5 year old son talk about Ai Weiwei, Steve Jobs and other inspirational men. I know that this book would impress us also and it did not disappoint. This book focuses on women who for one reason on another left their home countries. Some chose to, others had no other choice. Women from all walks of life, with so many different backgrounds and facing many obstacles managed to forget their way in iife. Even Rhianna features in this book. This is a wonderful book with such spectacular illustrations all of which teaches us that if you want to you can do it. If you want to succeed, if you're determined and driven you can achieve anything. It's a book every should read.

I have been a big fan of these stories for a while. The first time I read them (2017) they were a big deal for me because they made me discover how amazing women are.
Now, in 2020, this special edition that gives information about immigrant women really hit close to home for me.
Being an immigrant, it's beautiful to read about women that may not be very famous or well-known, but still managed to work their way through their goal having an extra step: leaving their country.
I, as an immigrant woman, really appreciate the work Elena Favilli did on this beautiful book. Hope it gets the recognition it deserves.

A lovely continuation of the REBEL GIRLS series, 100 Immigrant Women is a necessary addition to the way we discuss the contributions of women to society. Spanning generations, this book covers immigrant women from all over the world; it's a refreshing way to view history and how politics and identity shapes the way we view history.

I haven't read the first two installments in the <i>Goodnight Girls</i> series, so I can't comment on how well it fits into the series overall. What I can tell you is that I enjoyed this book far more than several of the other compilation books like this that I've read (for example, Vashti Harrison's <i>Little Leaders</> series). I think the reason for that is two-fold. One, this one had different illustrators throughout and each portrait actually looked like the woman doing the thing for which she is famous. And, two, the women were more varied in their backgrounds and accomplishments and that just kept the reading fresher for me.

Like other compilation biography books, this one has 4 or 5 paragraph encyclopedic entries so we don't get in depth on any of the women. But, it is enough to spark interest and it is easy enough to do more research into a particular woman if the reader wants to do so. I appreciated that there is an index/glossary at the end to help parents who are reading this as bedtime stories to their children explain some of the harder terms or ideas involved (racism, war, holocaust, etc,). I also appreciated that there are so many choices, parents could easily skip a few if they feel like that particular story will be too much for their particular child.

I wasn't blown away, but it was a solid read and I do recommend it.

An beautiful, inspirational and important book that every young person today should read and learn from. It's the perfect book to dip in and out of and even adults will learn a lot from it

I love the Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls series, and these latest addition does not disappoint! My girls loved these stories, and we all learned of important women we had never heard of. Thank you for this book!
