I love the other books in The Rebel series and this one is also brilliant. I have a 10 year old girl, who has confidence issues. I read a lot of books with her about girls and women who have made a difference in the world. Although some of the ‘girls’ in this book are featured in the other rebel books - it’s still a wonderful book. The women chosen are varied and fairly diverse. The illustrations are bright and beautiful and each woman has a page each describing them and their achievements. I was also glad to see Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Kamala Harris and Jacinda Arden in it.
It’s such a positive, feel good book and perfect for cuddling up with your little ones. It’s an important and inspiring read. I will be ordering the book as presents for family and friends with children.

Inspiring book with wonderful art. Perfect gift for every 21st century child and is a wonderful replacement for ancient fairytales often wrapped in notions of patriarch.

This is an inspiring book. I would be proud to own this and read it to my daughter. The illustrations are just beautiful too. I also thoroughly enjoyed the questions at the end and the encouragement to show what sort of leader you would be. Just what the world needs more of.

I think we all agree that this series of books that are focused on teaching us about the lives of these women who have achieved not only their dreams but also show that women are capable of everything in any field are the books we love the most, Well, let me tell you that this book is not left out since being written in the same way as the previous ones, this time we are given 25 super short stories about women of all kinds, of various nationalities, religions, fields, trades, dreams, etc.

This is the second book that I read in this type of "biographical" format because they give us the data from their date of birth, what they have achieved and contributed to society since they are currently engaged, what I liked the most about this version is that we can read about women of all kinds, actresses, singers, women dedicated to politics, to the defense of the environment and I think wow! These women are the best in the world because they have achieved much, much more than a man or in their case they have achieved a lot in the company of their husbands, children, parents who have been their engines to follow those dreams.

This book, as I said well, follows the same theme as his two previous books and despite the fact that it is in a biographical-story-story format, I think that it works like a glove for those who are beginning to enter the literary world as it will open their minds and it will not only leave a valuable lesson but it will also let them know about the changes that have been made in this society thanks to them. If you were wondering about how the illustrations are, then let me tell you that each and every one of them is beautiful, they are worthy of being in a painting to be shown in a gallery and it is that each one of them seriously has a touch that complements the story and that makes you imagine that you are meeting this person.

I am totally grabbing a copy of this book for my niece.
I love how this book gives good and understanding information on the important and inspiring woman in the world that every kid and adult should know.
It is colorful, well laid out and makes it fun to read about them.

This book was an inspiring read with heroes old and new and a good mix of famous heroes and underappreciated ones. With just the right amount of writing for each person and such a beautiful selection of amasing woman, this was an absolute joy to read.
It is sure to become a classic.
A big thankyou for letting me read it.

A great book for young girls and young women.
Includes stories of several positive female role models.
Would recommend to all ages to read.

I am a huge fan of the Rebel Girls series of books. My 6 year old has the first volume and has been captivated by some of the stories. It's great to see more books coming from Rebel Girls and Rebel Girls Lead does not disappoint. I love that I can curl up with my daughters (6 and 5) and read them a short story from this each evening and I, as their mum, am learning at the same time. This book includes Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Michelle Obama, Kamala Harris, Jacinta Ardern and more. It feels current and is packed full of both new stories and those collected from the other volumes. As with the other books, there are bold, colourful illustrations bringing the stories to life. Wonderful!

-Mary Barra

Combining well-known public figures and other heroines that are less famous, this collection of stories about brave strong women recognizes the efforts they put into their battles and how their resilience and persistence helped them to get where they are. It's important that little girls know their value and get inspired by other women who are not afraid to make a change in the world.

This book was what I needed !!!!
I try to read every Rebel Girls book there is, one being the Turkish version, 100 Girls from Turkey, and every time I cry out of pride. This one was no different.
Usually, in these books, there are some women that have lived before me, so maybe I don't feel the way my mother would feel, reading about these women in her youth, but in this one there are women such as Vice President Kamala Harris, Lady Gaga, Oprah... My real-life heroes.
I loved this book a lot, and waiting for more Rebel Girls books!

A fabulous contribution to this amazing series of books. . Short stories about inspiring girls who became inspiring women. A fabulous book to share with all the family, boys and girls, share the inspiration and power , brilliant books to teach and I just love the illustrations, makes them even more wonderful, fantastic

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

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.

(9 year old girl) I loved this book ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰😍.I think rebel girls is so inspiring. I have 1 and 2. I think anyone who reads this book will be very inspired.

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 weren't allowed to vote", but there is no mention of the hundreds of thousands of fraudulent votes for Biden/Harris in 5 states.

As an adult I found this book extremely interesting, even I have learned lots about some wonderful women in our world history. The diversity in the nationalities and times gives a perspective that teaches kids how everyone in this world can make a difference not matter the religion, color or nationality.

Fantastic introduction to 25 female leaders and similar to "She Represents" by Caitlin Donohue, but for a younger audience. Each "rebel girl" is introduced in a single page that gives an overview of the woman's accomplishments, accompanied by an amazing illustration. The information on each person is enough to catch the reader's interest and hopefully inspire them to look deeper into each leader's life and accomplishments. While the book does include a few women from other countries, the majority are American. It would be nice to see a follow-up book that introduces us to female leaders from around the world.

Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC.

An inspiring read geared toward girls, but even boys would benefit from the stories presented here. Each Rebel Girl is given a two-page spread. On one side is a detailed background with their birth date. Opposite is an accompanying illustration and quote. The artists are also extraordinary females from all over the world.

I was struck by how many of their careers or causes were sparked by an event that happened in their middle grade years.

*Sonia Sotomayor loved to watch Perry Mason TV shows growing up. It planted the idea to become a lawyer. Despite obstacles thrown in her path she achieved her goal and eventually became a Supreme Court Justice.

*Pat Summitt played hard as a child, always shooting baskets in the hayloft of her family’s dairy farm. Her skills led to becoming a head coach at age 21.

“Michelle Obama’s mother told her “If it can be done, you can do it.” She followed that advice and today she is known as First Lady, a lawyer, and author.

*Kamala Harris ventured out on the streets of Oakland, California in her youth and decided she wanted to help others in times of trouble. Our new vice president has done exactly that in her career.

Each of the 25 stories prove that believing in yourself goes a long way toward achieving life’s goals. Although the stories are short, they will certainly motivate readers to research more. What brings the book full circle are exercises in the back pages. There is a set of questions that ask WHAT KIND OF LEADER ARE YOU? A LEADERSHIP TRAINING section follows to steer you in the right path.

Overall, a terrific addition to the Rebel Girls series.

I love how diverse the subjects of this book are, and how there's a mixture of high-profile women and wrold leaders (Michelle Obama; Malala Yousafzai; Angela Merkel) alongside less well-known people, so there's something to learn for everyone picking it up! It's so nice to have a direct quote included from each of the women, as well as a short biography and gorgeous and varied illustrations!

There are definitely some women I don't necessarily think needed to be there (Queen Elizabeth I?) and I did feel like famous husbands sometimes overshadowed the women's own stories, but overall I really loved it!

I have yet to read a Rebel Girls book I haven't loved and wished was in my childhood bookshelves or classroom libraries. These books are treasures-excellent introductions to women and girls who are changing the world, or who have impacted our world already. Rebel Girls Lead boasts a diverse list of women from many different backgrounds and with many different talents. The illustrations are incredible, and the vignettes about each woman both introduces and affirms the desire to learn more. This will be a great gift for some of the rebel girls I know!

A vibrant and eye-catching style of book. This book lays out inspirational stories of iconic women. It's a really good mix of stories pand girls can find someone to relate to whatever their ambitions.
It is important for our children to read about women who have made a difference.
