In fact, the books are even one of her favorite gifts to give to friends too. I love that even at 6 years old, she has a number of amazing female role models (both past & present) that she can reference and look up to. Keep up the inspiring work. #FutureIsFemale

Conflict 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

Girl in the world Love reading the short and informative stories about so many different women and what they have accomplished. My daughter and I read every night and we both thoroughly enjoy learning about all the unique opportunities there are in the world through these books. It helps me reinforce the idea that girls can do anything!

Inspiring and empowering Whenever we hear a name on TV, see a face on a book, or hear of an incredible act of bravery, I am always SO proud when my girls can recognize that face, name, or story when it belongs to a Rebel Girl. They (we!) have learned so many amazing things about the women in these books. Hearing them make my girls raise their heads a little higher and pull back their shoulders a little further. They have become inspired and proud of these women that they’ve never met, and listen dreamily while planning out how THEY will one day have a page in these books. Thank you SO much for empowering my small rebel girls!

My 8 year old daughter is obsessed with… My 8 year old daughter is obsessed with her Rebel Girls books. She says "I have never been so interested in non-fiction before! Really great stories. I especially like the ones that have parts about the people when they were kids." She is learning so much, not only about inspriring women, but also about geography and history from these books. .
