And here I am at the end of that adventure.
Reading the story of 100 immigrant women who changed the world, well, it gives the reader much food for thought.

I had already read the author's two previous books and I had previously appreciated her desire to focus the two volumes on the female figure, but I believe that this volume has an extra gear, especially at a time when the figure of women is always underestimated in any area.

I can't wait to have the paper in my hands.

Another tome of Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls shows 100 portraits of female immigrants that made their impact on the world. I liked the variety of representation that doesn't focus on the United States and the UK. On the same note, the book shows women from both the past and the ones currently living, both young and old with all skin colors and background history.
Each person is represented with a brief description, their immigration route, and a beautiful portrait - each painted by the different talented artists. I greatly admired that eclectic design idea.
Overall, this is another great gift for brave young girls and women.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher Rebel Girls for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and feelings are my own.

In Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls: 100 Immigrant Woman Who Changed the World we read about 100 different woman who somehow contributed to a better society and a better world. An illustrated drawing has been added for every woman.

I've read most of these stories on the same day and I wouldn't recommend reading it that way. I would recommend reading one to two stories a day so you don't forget all of these amazing woman you read and learn about. I LOVED learning about these woman and I'm definitely going to check out the previous books in this series. Would recommend reading this one!

The goodnight stories series is a gem. It is full of stories, some well known, some not so well known, that can encourage, inspire and educate, not just young girls, but young people. This book is no different. At a time when 'immigrant' is seen as a dirty word in society, this book shines a light on some truly inspirational figures. I hope that many people will read this book and that it shall shape and change their world view.

Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls: 100 Immigrant Women Who Changed the World is an excellent book of short biographies that give the reader a taste of what powerful women from all around the world can accomplish. Each biography is only a page long and is accompanied by a colorful illustration, so a reader can read one or a few each day. Biographies include politicians, athletes, writers, activists, entertainers, and more! There is a little something for everyone in this book. If you are looking for a way to include more biographies and women's history into your child's life or classroom, this is an excellent choice for all genders of readers.
