May I say that I'm absolutely enamored with this picture book and its cute art style? Ana Sanfelippo's illustrations seem vaguely familiar, though I can't for the love of god remember where I might know them from... most likely some long-lost favourite children's book of mine. Nostalgia! Ever a fact-loving history nerd, I would have loved this as a kid.

I love that this series exists. This is such a good way to introduce famous women to children of the picture book level. So far I have read this one as well as the one on Rosa Parks.

What is good about this series is the concepts are very simple. This one, for example, doesn't go into hunger strikes, and force feeding, and being thrown in prison. This just lays out Pankhurst's fight for voting rights for women in the UK.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

This is the second book that I've read from Lisbeth Kaiser's Little People, Big Dreams series. I never knew who Emmeline Pankhurst is, but because of this book, I learnt a lot from this amazing and one of the notable women during the early 20th century in England. I commend everyone behind the publication of this book series, because they are both informative and inspirational not only to the young readers, but also to adult readers.

This book was an excellent introduction to the life of Emmeline Pankhurst and all that she achieved.
She really was a remarkable woman and this book touches on the struggles she faced and how she made some of the most amazing accomplishments against adversity for her time. The images are great and I loved the books I have read so far in this series - 5 stars - a brilliant read!!

In the 100th year of women gaining the vote in the UK, this book is ideal for introducing young people to one of the leading names in that struggle. As a book in a school library or classroom, available for project work or a book borrowed from a library by an active parent, this book gives the background without being too over the top with the politics, allowing curious minds to question and discussions about equality and rights to follow.

I was aware of the series for a while but hadn't read any of them until I picked up Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls: 100 Tales of Extraordinary Women and was inspired by stories of important women around the world. I thought this book was a great place to start in the series, given the hugely influential woman it represents.

This is the story of British activist Emmeline Pankhurst, leader of the British suffragette movement who helped women win the right to vote. Pankhurst's work helped to shape the idea of women for our future and her work is recognised as a crucial element in achieving women's suffrage in the United Kingdom.

As is the gist with all of the stories in this series, Pankhurst achieved incredible things as an adult but began life as a child with a dream. This book provides a brief biography and insight into her childhood and life an a political activist. While simple in its idea, this book provides a creative and insightful look at Pankhurst and is an inspirational read for both adults and young children. I especially enjoy how it is presented; it is visually so fun and cute, appealing to young minds who now have opportunity to read about important female figures in history.

Such a wonderful series. I'm excited to read more in the collection.

I loved this book! I can’t wait to read and purchase the rest of this series for my library service because I think shedding the light on famous women is important. Especially telling those little girls that they can and will succeed. More of these please!
