Another terrific edition in the Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls series, this time focusing on 100 immigrant women and their global achievements.

You’ll meet a female spy, artists, physicians, archers, scientists, acrobats, actresses, chefs, and many more.

As a child, I loved reading mini bios and wish the Rebel Girls’ books had been available then.

I dare anyone to read this splendid collection and not come away inspired to pursue your most cherished dreams. The colorful illustrations are gorgeous too, done by talented female artists from across the world. 5 of 5 Stars!

[Hsinju Chen · Rating 3 out of 5]

The title of this book is pretty self-explanatory: 100 stories about 100 awesome immigrant women. I love that each portrait of the women was done by a different woman-identifying artist (100 portraits and 70 artists). These stories are important ones, but having one page of text for a person’s life story is never enough. The intention is to spark interest in young readers and hopefully they’d read up more about these immigrant women. There were times where the story progression didn’t feel smooth enough, but I guess that is the downside of the very limited length.

While I appreciate all these stories, I did have a little issue with diversity. I can see that the author tried very hard to include as many countries of origin and destination as possible, but 63 out of the 100 stories were immigrant women who ended up moving to the US. Also, as happy as I am to see the mention of one lesbian (yes, the word “lesbian” is used, too), having only 1% being LGBTQ+ is not very reflective of the world population and I wish there were more (or pointed out if there are others in these 100 entries).

And fun (or not-so fun) fact: one of these immigrant women is Timnit Gebru, a computer scientist who was fired from Google earlier this month (Dec 2020) for attempting to publish a paper on the bias and discrimination inherent in AIs. (Note unrelated to the book: AIs are very biased due to how machine learning is done; in short, all data are biased and the AIs trained by said data are nothing but bigoted.)

This collection is very informative, and many of the stories are incredibly wholesome. I think it works as a good introductory book for young children.

I received an e-ARC from Rebel Girls via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This book belongs to the Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls series, but the concept here is a bit different. This volume focuses on immigrant women, who for some reason or another left their birth country and moved elsewhere. Some did it out of necessity, others just because they were looking for new opportunities. The women included in the book are from all over the world and have very different professions. The author really did an amazing job and every illustration is breathtaking as always. It's a really nice book to read even if you aren't a child anymore or don't have children yourself. I strongly recommend it!

Despite the Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls series being targeted towards youngsters, I found myself as a thirty-something loving every second of this inspirational book and have read each one as well as purchasing several copies for friends and family — both children and adults — and they are always well received. I feel this particular book is especially important due to the division this country is experiencing based on people's views of immigrants; some people need to be reminded just how much immigrants have contributed to our society and societies around the globe. It does a fantastic job of illustrating how their achievements are just as worthy and valid as anyone elses and should be celebrated alongside those who are British by birthright; this is not only a positive message for adults to hear but also children. There's often a disparity between how much people believe immigrants benefit the economy and the country as a whole, brought about by the media and politicians, and their true value, however, there's no doubt this superb and uplifting book rightly sets that straight.

Elena Favilli has once again created a book that is both educational and entertaining and featuring some exceptional artwork, too. These books empower girls to pursue their dreams without limits and inspire children to dream bigger and realise their fullest potential, by introducing them to extraordinary women throughout history. The women and girls featured in this instalment are from all walks of life and from both the past and present. Each of the stories is complemented beautifully by a vibrant full-page portrait of the individual in question drawn by a selection of different female artists and a two-page spread is dedicated to each of the extraordinary immigrant women. Information provided about each individual: their name and occupation, their life story, date of birth (and passing, where relevant) and the country they immigrated to and emigrated from. From a magician to a neuroscientist, a spy to a figure skater, this is a heartwarming and thought-provoking collection of bedtime stories inspired by the life and adventures of 100 heroic women. Roll on bedtime! Many thanks to Rebel Girls for an ARC.

Once again, this series didn't disappoint!

Beautiful illustrations. Great choices in who to feature (I loved that a couple from my neck or the woods were included too). And a diverse range of careers - neuroscientists to ballerinas with activists and authors in between!

Thanks to Netgalley for sending me an advanced copy of this book, which to be honest I was really looking forward to reading.

I had already read the first two books of Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls and I loved them and this was no exception, I even think I liked it much more than the others.

In this we learn the story of a hundred immigrant women who in their own way contributed to society and the world to make it a better place.

But apart from the achievements these women had, we also see how it was hard for some of them to be in a country that is not theirs because of the discrimination they suffered and I think it is important to know their stories, tell them so that characters are in their lives. same position, they can see that they can achieve great things despite being an immigrant.

Again, thanks to netgalley for sending me this book in exchange for an honest review.


ESP

Gracias a Netgalley por enviarme una copia avanzada de este libro, que siendo honesta me moria de ganas por leer.

Yo ya habia leido los dos primeros libros de Cuentos de buenas noches para niñas rebeldes y los ame y este no fue la excepcion, incluso creo que me gusto mucho mas que los otros.

En este conocemos la historia de cien mujeres inmigrantes que a su modo aportaron a la sociedad y al mundo para hacerlo un lugar mejor.

Pero aparte de los logros que tuvieron estas mujeres vemos tambien como para algunas de ellas fue duro estar en un pais que no es el de ellas por la discriminacion que sufrian y creo que es importante conocer sus historias, contarlas para que personajes que esten en su misma posicion puedan ver que si pueden lograr grandes cosas a pesar de ser inmigrante.

De nuevo, gracias a netgalley por enviarme este libro a cambio de una reseña honesta.

When Favilli and Cavallo's Good Night Stories For Rebel Girls first became a hit a couple of years ago, I thought the idea very endearing, and made a note to check them out properly after flipping through one in a book shop. When this new installment in the series, focused on immigrant women past and present, became available as an instant download, I jumped at the opportunity.

This is the first book that Cavallo did not contribute to, it is solely Favilli's work. The one hundred women included all left their countries of birth for different reasons—some to seek new opportunities, some out of necessity, some moved more than once. The women included were diverse in every sense of the word: From all over the world, and with all sorts of backgrounds and occupations, ranging from scientists, to athletes (a bit too many for my taste), businesswomen, politicians, artists, and activists.

Of the one hundred women included, I was familiar with about a dozen. I didn't keep count, but I'd say that most were contemporary women still alive and active today, and only a small fraction historical figures—I suppose the women who paved the way in more significant ways (I'm thinking of real watershed moments; big scientific discoveries, the suffrage, Civil Rights Movement, etc.) have already been included in the previous volumes, or didn't fit what this volume sets out to do, which is to teach children that people have worth and potential to achieve great things no matter where they came from, their funny accent, imperfect speech, or the color of their skin. In any case, I find the "...who changed the world" in the title a bit of a hyperbole.

Being Good Night stories, all the chapters begin with a "Once Upon a Time..." or "Once there was a girl...", and the text is very simplified, and meant to be appropriate and inspirational for young children. Concepts that would likely be new to a child, and may put a parent in a difficult position when asked to explain, such as "racism", "discrimination", "segregation", "refugee", "prejudice", "undocumented", or "holocaust", have footnotes and are succinctly defined in a glossary. I somehow can't see a child who'd enjoy a book like this be satisfied with those short explanations, but they might be good gateways for more in-depth, educational conversations. The hard topics covered however definitely didn't jibe with the easy texts, and I feel that a child mature enough to engage with these mature topics would have a higher reading level and find these vignettes too simplified and thus unsatisfying or not engaging and interesting enough.

It's a cute book, but I was most certainly not the target audience, and before buying this one, I'd probably look at the earlier volumes covering less obscure women—unless, of course, this is specifically a gift for an immigrant child who'd be inspired by these particular stories.

Note: I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review, but it did not include the illustrations, which are a big part of this series. The digital copy I accessed was also poorly formatted, with the quotes from the end of a chapter blending into the title and first paragraph of the next, making it hard or impossible to read. These issues did not have a big impact on my rating, only on my enjoyment.

I was invited to review an early copy of the third instalment of the bestselling Good Night Stories series. This time the stories and illustrations concentrate on women who emigrated from their country of birth. Among those 100 women are very well known names such as Rihanna or Madeleine Albright.

Personally, I enjoyed the stories of less well-known-to-me women like Lupe Gonzalo (Migrant Farmer and Labour Organiser from Guatemala), or football referee Jawahir Jewels Roble (from Somalia) far more than the stories of Diane von Fürstenberg or Gloria Estefan.

The outstanding illustrations in this book were made by 70 artists identifying as women from all over the world. A list of all the names is included in the back of the book.

An empowering read that shouldn’t be missing on any shelf.

Comecei por ler o terceiro volume, pois estas são histórias isoladas. Cada um dos volumes tem 100 mini biografias de mulheres que tiveram de deixar o seu país de origem em busca do seu sonho.
Achei a ideia deste livro muito interessante, confesso que no inicio pensava que seria uma leitura para os mais novos, mas estava completamente errada. Aprendi tantas coisas com estas mulheres, nem podem imaginar. Claro, que a leitura deste livro não foi de modo algum realizada sem interrupções, antes pelo contrário. Li este livro de uma maneira muito calma e fui pesquisando, algumas das mulheres que me foram despertando mais curiosidade.
Algumas (confesso que não foram muitas) eu já tinha ouvido falar, mas na sua maioria foi uma enorme surpresa.
Gostei imenso das ilustrações, cada mulher tem um texto na página par e a sua ilustração, acompanhada por uma citação da própria na página impar. Temos aqui ilustradoras fantásticas...por curiosidade também fui ver algumas fotos das nossas mulheres e vi que as ilustrações estão mesmo muito boas.
Este é um livro para se ir lendo e saboreando. Uma leitura para as idades e para todos os géneros.

Me inspira muchísimo leer historias de mujeres que existieron y existen luchando y creando espacios increíbles para el resto de nosotras. Le doy 4.5 ⭐️ porque siento que si falto la otra autora a la hora de contar las historias 🙌🏻 de repente el formato se volvió un poco repetitivo pero las historias son igual de impactantes e importantes 🫰🏻 un buen libro para todes pero creo que específicamente para las mujeres, aunque si me gustaría que en futuras ediciones incluyeran muñeren trans o mujeres parte de la comunidad lgbt porque no recuerdo haber leído al tu ma historia que les incluya, puede que si y la haya olvidado 🙌🏻

Knjiga-projekt 'Priče za laku noć za mlade buntovnice', kojom su njene autorice htjele preokrenuti uloge žena u pričama koje čitamo djevojčicama prije spavanja i potaknuti djevojčice da žele više i da znaju da, oslanjajući se na same sebe, mogu ostvariti svoje snove, uspjela je postići sve navedeno, ali i mnogo više. Kroz stotinu priča o snažnim ženama te nastavkom s još stotinu, djevojčice diljem svijeta upoznale su stvarne junakinje s kojima dijele iste snove, u koje se mogu ugledati i čijim se putevima mogu inspirirati kako bi prokrčile svoj vlastiti.

Problem položaja žena u društvu nešto je što je još uvijek aktualno, nejednakosti još uvijek postoje, i upravo su zato knjige poput ovih prijeko potrebne, kako bi osnažile djevojčice od malih nogu i pokazale im da nikada ne odustanu i ne čekaju na nekoga drugog da im pruži ono nešto što im treba da bi živjele sretno zauvijek. Srećom, i popularne bajke i crtići također se sve više mijenjaju i u glavne uloge stavljaju snažne heroine koje ne sjede u tornjevima čekajući prinčeve da ih spase. Možda je baš zato Disneyev 'Frozen' toliko popularan, jer je Elsa prva Disneyeva princeza koja je potpuno samostalna i neovisna, koja slijedi svoj happily ever after samo tako, oslanjajući se na vlastitu snagu.

Novi nastavak 'Priča za laku noć za mlade buntovnice' u fokus stavlja još jedan problem nejednakosti, i to onaj s kojim se susreću gotovo sve žene emigrantice. Dovoljno je teško napustiti dom i sve što ti je poznato, zbog bilo kojeg razloga, a još je teže kad znaš da će te mjesto u koje ideš teško prihvatiti. Ne uvijek, naravno, ali gledajući unatrag par godina na još aktualne migrantske krize, neprihvaćanje useljenika i otežavanje njihovog života samo zato što nisu oduvijek živjeli ondje gdje su doselili, još uvijek je itekako prisutno. Sa novih stotinu priča o ženama koje su i taj problem uspješno nadvladale, najnovije buntovnice pokazat će djevojčicama širom svijeta da je i ovaj problem moguće nadvladati - i postati uspješna žena koja ostvaruje svoje snove i mijenja svijet.

Od Madeleine Albright do Rihanne, ova knjiga donosi stotinu priča o emigranticama koje su svijet na neki način učinile boljim mjestom i koje su pronašle svoje mjesto pod suncem. Priče su i ovoga puta šarolike, a pričaju i o znanstvenicama i o sportašicama i o balerinama i o umjetnicama i o političarkama; o mnogim, mnogim ženama čijim se pričama možemo inspirirati i čije korake možemo slijediti. Ono što je sjajno kod ovih priča je i to što su sve do jedne istinite, a upotpunjene su divnim ilustracijama, čije autorice su također žene.

Od trenutka pokretanja prve Kickstarter kampanje za financiranje prve knjige ovog serijala, pa do danas, i sam je serijal promijenio svijet: revolucionarizirao je svijet bajki i priča za laku noć koje čitamo djeci, bez obzira na spol, upoznajući ih sa stvarnim junakinjama koje su vlastitim snagama napravile nešto, bilo da se radi o postizanju sportskih rezultata, uvođenju promjena u politici, prkošenju totalitarnim i autoritarnim režimima, ili tek postizanju još jednog koraka k nekom cilju koji će omogućiti bolje i pravednije sutra nekim budućim generacijama.

Djevojčice (a i dječaci) koje će čitati ove knjige upravo su te buduće generacije, koje će zahvaljujući tim knjigama i njihovim pričama, odrastati malo snažnije, malo hrabrije, malo sigurnije u sebe i svoje sposobnosti. Neke od njih možda osvanu u nekom budućem nastavku istih ovih priča, nikad ne znaš. :)

No está mal pero tampoco es genial. Definitivamente es el peor de los 3 que he leído y es principalmente por dos cosas: la primera, no sé cuál es el rango de edad al que va dirigido este libro, pero creo que algunas cosas son demasiado "serias" o complicadas para que las entienda una niña o un niño pequeño. La segunda, me quedo con la sensación de que, en lo más profundo, el mensaje del libro es "si quieres ser alguien, tienes que irte a Estados Unidos". Porque (no las he contado, pero) como 70 mujeres dejaron sus países para irse a dicho país.

En definitiva, no creo que sea una mala lectura, pero sí creo que es el libro más flojo de la colección.

Thank you to NetGalley for my electronic ARC in exchange for my honest review. This book will be published October 13, 2020.

This is the third book in the series. Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls: 100 Tales of Extraordinary Women was published in 2016 and volume 2 in 2018. This latest book focuses on rebel girls who are immigrants.

I thought this was such a great idea - empowering young girls via bedtime stories to pursue their dreams despite all odds. I’m unclear what age group is targeted here but the short summaries are pretty simplistic. And yet the subject matter would be challenging for young girls: abolitionist, discrimination, refugee, prejudice, Holocaust to name a few.

My other big complaint is this book did not transfer well to a Kindle. The formatting was off, the illustrations didn’t display and it was hard to read.

2 stars for context but 1 Star for Kindle formatting.

[Gayathiri Rajendran · Rating 4 out of 5]

Many thanks to NetGalley for providing me with an advance reader's copy in exchange for an honest review.

This installment of Rebel Girls follows the stories of 100 women who have achieved greatness in their respective fields and are immigrants. A few stories are more familiar than the others and we also get to read about lesser known brave and compassionate women.

All these women have made significant impact in the world. The stories are pretty short and children can read this book and get to know about a single person everyday. The diversity of the stories in this book is good and everyone can find a story that appeals to them the most.

The formatting feels a bit off in the Kindle version but I am pretty sure the hardcover is going to be beautiful to read. A nice book to read for inspiration.

Historias de mujeres migrantes.

Interesante e inspirador, pero me gustaron más los libros anteriores, quizás porque eran sobre mujeres más conocidas. 🤷‍♀️

[Iben · Rating 2 out of 5]

Konceptet er fint, men jeg synes ikke bogen virker. Historierne - eller rettere, biografierne er voldsomt kogt ned og oversimplificeret - ofte uden nogen videre sammenhæng. Målgruppen er små børn, men kvindernes historier fortjener mere dybde. Jeg kan ikke rigtig se hvordan nogle vil synes det er "sjov" godnatlæsning. Det er så simplificeret, den ikke engang kan bruges som et opslagsværk andet end deres navne, som man så kan google sig videre ud fra.

(Also, og her er det bare mig, der måske tager helt fejl, men jeg krummer lidt tæer over at kvinder fra fx England og Canada, der er flyttet til USA, kan klassificeres som indvandrerkvinder.)

«A las niñas rebeldes del mundo: crucen los límites, exijan libertad, dejen huella y cuando duden, recuerden: el futuro es suyo.»

Soy fan de esta colección porque me demuestran que mujeres ejemplares, poderosas, talentosas y fuertes existen en todo el mundo. Ellas me inspiran, me enseñan, me abren las puertas no solo del mundo exterior sino también de mi propia mente, porque soy mujer y puedo lograr lo que quiera mientras crea en mi misma.

Este libro de «100 mujeres migrantes que cambiaron el mundo» nos habla sobre 100 mujeres que abandonaron sus países de origen por diferentes razones, para buscar otra vida y mejores oportunidades en otras tierras. Lograron eso y mucho más, por lo que demuestran que su país de origen no tiene por qué limitarlas o ser una definición de sus oportunidades o metas.

Aunque muchas de estas mujeres migraron a Estados Unidos (me hubiera gustado más variedad en este punto), vienen de muchas partes del mundo. Incluso tenemos dos ejemplos de mujeres colombianas 💜

So,
I was originally gonna give this book 2.5/5. It's an average book, my main issue with it was that it mainly focused on women who immigrated to the United States with few mentions of any other countries.
That was my initial review untill they included Golda Meir (a racist war criminal) as a "rebel girl" lol. I immediately lost interest after that tbh.
Oh one more thing, when it comes to people who left European countries and went to Israel or the US.... the book makes sure to mention it's because of the Nazis. But, when it mentions people who left any other countries because of war (Iraq, Vietnam,...etc.) it fails to mention the reason ??
The book is intended for adults and children but I wouldn't recommend it at all for neither.
Nice picture tho!

My e-arc lacked the illustrations, which I think are a large part of the Rebel Girl series, so I've decided not to rate this book. I do want to say that I thought it was pretty good despite the missing art. I haven't read the previous books, so I don't know how it compares, but I thought it covered some interesting women, only a handful of which I knew beforehand. I think the idea behind the series is a truly wonderful one, and I'm really pleased that the series has proved to be successful. My main gripe with this book, though, is that I thought the bios were too short. A small page of writing is not sufficient enough space to cover the lives of these women, and because the bios were so short, I often felt I didn't get a clear image of the women in question. I also felt that the writing was perhaps a little too juvenile. I know that these are children's books, but I think they could have benefited from a little more complexity. But overall, this is a pretty good book and I imagine it's a good continuation of the book series.

I’m a proud owner of the first two Rebel Girls, both of which I’ve been reading to my girl; and I just recently bought this too!

Sticking true to their style - short snippets of each the brilliant women accompanied by vibrant and gorgeous illustrations.

I’m in awe of their stories. They don’t let their circumstances deter them from achieving their dreams and this one focused on immigrant women would make such an inspiring collection to all girls and even young women, who feel that they don’t belong and that the whole world is against them. Great lessons can be learned from these 100 immigrant women! I can’t wait to read their stories to my girl!

Brilliant work once again! Highly recommended!

Es un libro muy bueno para conocer un poco de muchas mujeres que han destacado por algo a lo largo de la historia, tenemos desde científicas, bailarinas, activistas, doctoras, modistas, ingenieras, artistas, deportistas, entre otras, para mostrarles a las niñas, mujeres y personas del mundo que aunque hayas nacido en un sitio, hayas tenido situaciones complicadas, puedes luchar por tus sueños, por mas que se muevan en el camino, también sirve para que le agradezcamos a algunas que fueron pioneras, que nos abrieron camino cuando se veía tan difícil, y para mostrar que aún nos falta. Son historias cortas, cuentos, si queremos saber mas podemos buscar sobre sus vidas y enriquecer un poco mas la experiencia. Además, de cada mujer tenemos una ilustración de alguna de las sesenta artistas que participaron para hacernos una idea de cómo lucían estas personas, y son preciosas.

Este libro es el que he sentido menos satisfactorio y a pesar de que todas las historias son válidas por ser bibliográficas me entra coraje, debido a que la mayoría de las mujeres han acabado en Estados Unidos para poder ser vistas, escuchadas o realizar su profesión, solo unas pocas han sobresalido en países latinos, y ahi hago otros corajes, está bien apoyar a todos, ¿entonces? Por que no apoyar a nuestros compatriotas.

En esta ocasión conocí a unas mujeres mexicanas que no sabía de su existencia, además de que son contemporáneas, las más sobresalientes mundialmente en la actualidad, tal vez sea Rihanna, Anna Wintour, Gloria Estefan, Lupita Nyong'o. Pero siempre es un placer ver que no son las únicas y que hay muchas más mujeres haciendo historia.

Each woman is uniquely illustrated by female illustrators from around the world and the artwork is stunning!

I read the first book of this collection of women stories and I loved it. When I saw this on netgalley I ask for it right away because these types of books gives you such a powerful message. This one in particular tells you about strong inmigrants women from all over the world; no matter their ethnicity, religion, age, race. They are from all times periods, all professions and as I said I, do think this can bring a powerful message to all the girls out there.

Enjoy it very much :)
