If you finish quickly, don’t worry because there are now two Rebel Girls books. You could read one story every night but you probably won’t want to stop with one. It’s good to see a variety of women but why not show a bad ending to their story sometimes? We can understand that just because they’re female, they’re not always good people. The two women pirates in the book are unusual heroes because pirates were dangerous and they killed other people. Is it a problem that the book doesn’t say that was a bad thing? Another example is pirates. One woman, Jingū, Empress of Japan, decided to start a war with Korea because of a dream. Not all the women included are ‘good girls’.

And it’s also important that boys can think of women in jobs like doctor, Formula One race car driver and president. But the stories are also interesting for boys to read.
It’s a great idea to show young girls what women can do. One problem with the book, unfortunately, is its name, because it gives the idea it’s a book for girls. The women in the book did things because they wanted to and they didn’t listen when people told them not to. If you read the book, those pictures might start to become women of all colours and ages.
If you close your eyes and think of a war hero and a pilot, you probably think of men. Why haven’t we learned about these women before? Often history remembers men more than women. For example, Charles Babbage is called the ‘father of computers’ but a woman, Ada Lovelace, wrote the first computer program. Other times, it’s because a man’s name became more famous. After she died, some men broke her statues and removed her name from documents. Like Hatshepsut, one of the most important queens of Egypt. Sometimes, it’s because people tried to remove them from history. You probably won’t know the names of most of the women but, when you finish reading, you’ll ask yourself why. But, the stories aren’t just boring biographies. The book tells the stories of one hundred amazing women from 1500 BC to today. It’s a book of fairy tales with a difference: all the stories are true. But what if the girl was clever or strong instead of beautiful? What if she wanted to be an astronaut, a politician or a pirate instead of a princess? And what if she didn’t need a prince to do it? That’s the idea behind the book Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls. Then she gets married to him and becomes a princess. A beautiful girl waits for a prince to find her.
