GBThis is the second Rebel Girls book I… This is the second Rebel Girls book I have given to my granddaughter. For her birthday she received many wonderful gifts, clothes, jewelry making supplies, art supplies and a full basketball setup. However when asked what her favorite present was she said the Rebel Girls book. She sat right down and read the whole thing in the middle of her party! She taught us all that Day! Would highly recommend!

GBHighly recommended I gave the Rebel Girls Book of Questions to my daughter for her 11th birthday and it’s been a complete hit. She asks her dad and I the questions all the time, and it’s sparked great conversations with us that have even carried over to school. She’s had the Rebel Girls books since the first one came out years ago, and this is a nice addition now that she’s older. Highly recommended.

GBConflict in Construct Hello, my name is Alan. I purchased this book from the Mar Vista Time Travel. I think the premise of this movement is terrific. However, as I was reading this story to my daughter, I got to Artmesia Gentileschi and felt uncomfortable. At page 20 the passage reads, Agostino wanted his star pupil to also be his lover. "I promise I will marry you", he told her. Artmesia kept saying no. I did not quite understand it, so my partner and I spoke about it and looked a little more in depth into that background and it did not take long to come to the fact that Artmesia was Raped; and the situation was not coined the term only because she was underage, she was full fledge taken advantage of. Now, the story is obviously more intricate than that: Agostino promised to marry her and recanted his promise, women were not seen as people, rather descedants of men, and a caretaker is also to blame, apart from the father's blame. But the amount of detail needed in order to put its true story together, is important; unfortunately, it is not justifiable or fair for the writer to diminish what really happened, as a Woman, and for a Woman's sake (because these things really happen). Moreover, if that background is not neccessary, too dark, or even has too many complexities, it is probably best not mention it at all. Because it is a childrens book, I understand the necessity to keep it child-oriented, but I believe it is also best to be conscientious of every circumstance. All consecutively, I suggest it would be best not to veneer Artmesia's story -- And hopefully, not Anyone else's story in these books -- or just keep the dark backgrounds out, completely. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I appreciate the thought and reason for these books to exist. Keep getting better, thank you Sincerely Alan

GBI’ve been following Rebel Girls since… I’ve been following Rebel Girls since they opened up their first book to those who wanted to help and invest in this wonderful idea of young girls being inspired by other women who’ve made amazing contributions in the world! I’m proud to given my daughter the chance to learn and be fascinated by others experiences and hope for an amazing future of her own. I will forever be invested in this company and will purchase more products in their ever growing future! The future is Woman!

GBThese books are amazing! These books are amazing! My daughter now pretends to be these amazing women instead of fictional characters. We love reading a few each night and if it's someone that is singing or plays sports we watch a video of that person doing their thing. She and I both look forward to it each night. I know it is paving the way for her to be a strong, independent and amazing woman.
