I really love the concept of these books. It really is a great way for young girls to learn as well as be inspired by the women that have come before them. This is definitely a great book to have in a classroom.

Thank you, NetGalley and Rebel Girls, for the ARC of this book.

Thanks to Netgalley for a digital copy in exchange for an honest review :)

Rebel Girls is a great series in general and I love the other books in this non-fiction series. This sets the record straight and presents 100 barrier-breaking Black women and girls. This is a very interesting non-fiction book. It sounded brilliant and I really wanted to read this! It does not disappoint. I loved it. I have found a lot of information I did not know about. I discovered some interesting, fascinating women and I would like to read more about them. I think the book has a wonderful way of presenting little information and making you want to find out more. I was mostly interested in the women in STEM - and I really wanted to see more mathematicians in there.

Generally, the book is really easy to read. This is perfect for children, but I think it is a must read for everyone in general. Every women mentioned has their portrait as well. Each portrait is created by different artists and I found it so beautiful and unique. It is very easy to follow the short stories/ descriptions.

I totally recommend this book to anyone! A great read!

I adore this entire series and this volume is no different. I always love how, even at 36,I still learn about new inspirational people from these titles.

Phenomenal. Absolutely outstanding collection of stories about oft overlooked women who have made significant contributions to our world. My 10 year old read it twice in succession, excitedly reading out things none of us had heard of before. Incredibly inspirational women for a young, Black girl to look up to and wonderful for her to see them take their place in history. Excellent addition to the 'Rebel Girls' books.

i love this series!!! i love how they're well-written in a simple way for young readers. the artwork and style is lovely and so beautiful. it is such great introductory education on brilliant black girl magic and i loved reading all these stories so much.

A collection of real-life stories of a hundred inspiring Black women collated by four Black women authors, edited by a Black woman, and illustrated by more than sixty Black female/non-binary illustrators. That’s Black Magic alright!

This book contains some known names and many unknown names from quite a few countries. I was happy to see that range of countries and the diverse fields of achievement included in the content. The format is the same as in the earlier books: a single page write-up about a woman achiever written in story format, accompanied by an illustration of that woman on the right hand side. The language is moderately difficult, and will be manageable for independent readers aged 7+. As far as I could make out, there are no repeats from the earlier Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls books except for Kamala Harris. What I also admired was that the book covers not just cis women but also trans women. This makes this edition a treasure trove of inspiring ladies and completely worthy of purchase.

The book proves that you are not limited by when you are born, where you are born, or whom you are born to. Your only limit is set by you yourself.

A few of the illustrations disappointed me this time. They depicted the lady as either fairer or thinner than in real life. Docking 0.25 stars for this.

That’s a very minor issue in comparison with the stunning impact such books can create on little minds and their guardians. Such books are a must for every house, school, and library.

I would like to thank NetGalley and the publishers for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I've been a huge fan of the 'Rebel Stories' series and often found myself gifting the books to my young loved ones. This book is another gem in the treasure chest of beautiful stories and familiarises the reader with women of colour from around the world and their incredible achievements. I did not know about every single woman in this book and found that I learnt so much and felt inspired as I turned the final page of the book. The beautiful portraits accompanying each story serves as an added element and a gateway to connect with the individual in the spotlight.

It's wonderful to see books like these being written, with the target audience of children in mind as it introduces them to a plethora of talented, hard working and eloquent individual's, who have paved a path of their own in their respective fields. It reminds children that no matter what your background is, if you have the passion, dedication and courage, you can follow your dreams and become anyone you want!

I love these books. It is so important to have something like this for young children, and I love the way they are written. The artwork is exquisite, and I teared up reading about women I wasn’t aware of and the amazing things they have done. Amazing!

I reviewed a copy made available by the publisher via Netgalley - Thank you very much for that!

First of all, I would like to mention that I try as best I can not to take a place that I am not entitled to as a non-black POC, so I will not be able to go deeper into the matter, but only comment on what I am entitled to comment on.

"Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls - 100 Real-Life Tales of Black Girl Magic" is a really great collection of the impressive achievements of 100 Black women.

The book does not refer to achievements on an activist level (of course activists are also presented), but rather the different and diverse fields in which they were achieved - which is great because black women were or are not only activists, but also poets, architects, lawyers, pilots, doctors or athletes.

What I really like is that black women from different parts of the world are featured, from the USA to France and Germany to Nigeria, Uganda and South Korea.

Furthermore it‘s not only stories about incredible Black Women - It‘s stories about incredible Black Women BY incredible Black females and nonbinary people, who created this peace of art.

I LOVE that these people behind that book are being introduced and that they also listed all the authors, that were introduced in this book as well as other books that feature these incredible women.

I think I’d like it more, if the illustrators were introduced on the same page as the person they illustrated, because many people tend to not give attention to the last pages, but I think the creators had their reasons to do it that way.

I am a huge fan of the "Rebel Stories...' books and this one is another gem!

The books are so well written and this one is no different; it packs in so much information about important women of colour from all over the world, whilst still being accessible to children and thus easy to understand. The illustrated portraits are captivating and so realistic, whilst still having an expressive, fun element to them.

Both my husband and I really enjoy reading this with our daughter; we've stumbled across people we should've known about, but didn't and have learned so much.

This is an important book for schools to have in their libraries and families to have at home - not only because it celebrates the successes of so many black women, but also because it shares the struggles that, unfortunately, still exist today.

One of my favourite things when I was a kid was choosing my book before bed that my mum would read to me. But when I was a kid all of the fairy tales were the same. The women were always white, housewives, princesses or damsels in distress. You didn't often get tales of strong women, let alone women of colour. This is the type of book I wish was around for me then.

This book was fantastic. It was stories of inspirational women who fought for their beliefs, their education, their visions. There were STEM women, rock stars, athletes. A wonderful message to children that they can be whoever they want to be, just like these women have.

There are stories from women I've heard about and seen, but also I learned so much about inspirational women I didn't know about and it was wonderful. The illustrations are also beautiful and highlight the beautiful women they are representing. I can't wait to pick up this and the other books in the collection to read to my children one day.

Thank you so much to the publishers, authors, illustrators and NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this exceptional book in exchange of an honest and unbiased review.
