I’ve run my own business from home for nearly two decades, and during that time I’ve answered the door hundreds of times to greet little neighborhood hustlers trying to make a buck by selling anything from their dog-walking services to cups of lemonade. I don’t want random kids walking my dogs, and I sure as heck don’t need any lemonade. But do I pull out my wallet 99% of the time? You better believe it.
Even though the interruptions can be ill-timed and annoying, I always appreciate children who have an entrepreneurial spirit. I also have admired the Rebel Girls book series since it exploded on Kickstarter back in 2016, so of course I was eager to check out their latest publication focused on women building and investing in business.
Rebel Girls Awesome Entrepreneurs* includes mini biographies and colorful portraits of 25 females who’ve shattered corporate glass ceilings. Founders of companies like Canva, Stitch Fix, and Bumble are included as well as CEOs of brands such as TaskRabbit and Nextdoor. The end of the book has bonus materials too: a glossary of business words and a step-by-step guide for launching your own project.
I haven’t had the opportunity to read any of the bios to kids yet, so I don’t know how well the content is absorbed by the target demo of the 7-12 crowd. I just know I really WANT them to absorb it. Who needs princesses and superheroes when there are so many more inspiring and accessible role models out there?
My thanks to the publisher for the advance copy to review via NetGalley. Now available. (*As of the date of this review, 4/26/22, Goodreads lists the book with an alternate title: Rebel Girls Mean Business.)

Yet another marvellous Rebel Girls title. And I am so awed by this one!
The title is slightly misleading because this book isn’t just about entrepreneurs managing their own companies/businesses but also about women in the higher echelons of the corporate world who do their best for their employer in their capacity as CEO or VP and so on.
I had assumed that the content might get a bit repetitive, especially as I have zilch interest in entrepreneurship, but boy, was I surprised! Each story is so personal, so relatable, and so inspirational that I found myself captivated by these talented ladies. Most of the stories, yet again, come from the USA, but a wide variety of ethnic backgrounds is covered, which makes the book diverse enough.
When it comes to business, there are quite a few words that are new to little ones – entrepreneurship, unicorns, profit, shares, and so on. This book offers a brief explanation of common business words towards the end so that budding entrepreneurs don’t get bogged down by the vocabulary. There’s also a step-by-step activity list on how to create your own business. I found this list outstanding – simple content and yet highly practical.
The illustrations accompanying each bio are once again from various female and nonbinary artists from all around the world, the youngest of whom is just 7!
In short, simply brilliant. Go buy this for the future corporate go-getters in your life!
4.5 stars.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.
Rebel Hirls Awesome Entrepreneurs is one of the latest installments in this inspiring series and didn't disappoint. I actually found this one to be even more than I'd hoped for from the cover and blurb alone. Not only does it spotlight incredible inspiring female entrepreneurs who have started and managed their own companies but it also showcases females who work for large corporate companies and how they go above and beyond for the business they help run or work for.
I love how these books showcase all ethnicities in diversity and feel books like this are so important in the world of today for children and YA to have access too. They show the potentials we can be and achieve in life through hard work and effort and encourage people to go after their dreams. The artwork as always is beautiful and I can't wait to see what comes next in this series.

“Once there was a girl who dreamed of unicorns. But her unicorns weren’t mythical creatures. They were incredible businesses.”
✮ ✮ ✮ ✮
Really empowering book for teenage girls. I wouldn’t give it to anyone younger than 11ish, because I just feel the idea is incomprehensible to a lot of girls younger than this. There’s a lot of page-long stories in this book of snippets of womens life, before, during, and after they became entrepreneurs.
Starting and running a business and becoming an entrepreneur are no easy feats, but this book gives a step by step of the basics and a breakdown of a lot of important terms. Maybe helpful for teen girls that just aren’t sure what they would like to do.

**Thanks to NetGalley and Rebel Girls for this ARC**
Rebel Girls Mean Business: 25 Tales of Entrepreneurs and Investors will be out May 10th, 2022.
Rebel Girls continues to knock all of their books out of the park. This one focuses on women who invest in, started, or run businesses. Among the women highlighted are the founder of Bumble, the CEO of TaskRabbit, and the inventor of Steiff teddy bears. While I have always loved the Rebel Girls franchise, I wasn't sure what to expect reading a book focused on business. I was pleasantly surprised by the diversity of careers and interests highlighted and, as always, loved the beautiful illustrations. I would give this to any of the young rebel girls in my life :)
4 stars - I really liked it!

If there was one series that I wished existed when I was younger it would be the Rebel Girls series. When I was little, we had encyclopedias and there were a lot of male role models but hardly any female ones talked about. Our world was mainly male-dominated and also it was all about businessmen rather than entrepreneurs but with the rise of the internet and the digital world and also feminism becoming a popular term, there are plenty of great female role models for girls today in all areas. Myself, my heroes were Jacqueline Wilson, Nancy Pearl, Nancy Wake, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Audrey Hepburn, and Nellie Bly, women who all started their journeys in their 20's + and now we have children as young as 5-10 years old becoming strong role models to children all around the world. It is so inspiring and powerful to read. Rebel Girls Mean Business spotlights 25 female entrepreneurs and investors in several categories and the best thing is the Rebel Girls books are all about diversity and inclusivity so there are all races and genders etc. Nobody misses out - only the Men haha as this is all about having strong female role models. The Rebel Girls series are perfect for girls aged between 9 to 15 years old and if you have a girl under the age of 9 in your family, the stories can be used as bedtime read-aloud as each one is only a page long, the perfect size for just before bed.

Thank you Rebel Girls for sending me the link of the pre-approved copy of your latest book, Rebel Girls Awesome Entrepreneurs. It is a pleasure for me to have received such an invitation from you. Congratulations for another very inspiring series!
In this series, the Rebel Girls is highlighting on some of the most creative and successful business women and entrepreneurs (which i have never heard of or known any of them except for Rihanna, the famous singer!).
Everyone knows that it isn't easy to start a business and not everyone has what it takes to be a businessman (which in this case, a businesswoman) and entrepreneurs. However, it isn't impossible to be one, as long as we have visions, ideas and creativity,have the guts,grit and confidence that our ideas would work and are willing to work hard until its succession,then anything is possible.
As showcased by these extraordinary women entrepreneurs,their journey weren't all smooth sailing but started out as a bumpy road for them. Each one of them were facing their own challenges and battling with their own fears and insecurities, before their visions and ideas could turn up to be successful.
What's fascinating and inspiring to me is that despite they are all facing ordinary, common and relatable problems and issues to us such as difficulty of finding a job/getting hired, bullying, lack of confidence,physical disability, etc, nevertheless they had extraordinary visions,brilliant and bold ideas and creativity in creating or coming up with something,solving a problem and turning them into an opportunity.
I think this series is not only inspiring by sharing the stories about all of these amazing women,but also very informative as it also gives some tutorials on some of the important,basic terms and concepts used in business such as what is an entrepreneur? types of business, who are the important people in the C-Suites?as well as some hands-on, step by step guidelines and activities at the end of the book on how to start our own business that we can try and follow.
Overall, this is a very enjoyable read for me which i highly recommend to every girls/women,young or old, whether you are into business or not. However, the only issue i had is that i wish for a more diverse examples of business women and entrepreneurs in this book as so far i saw mostly they are all candidates from the United States. It would be more interesting if you could feature more women entrepreneurs from other countries and add in more past business women/entrepreneurs in history (as i saw mostly they are all from the recent times).
In short, it is another 5🌟 rating from me.

Unlike most of the Rebel Girls books, the women in this book might not be as well known to the average reader. But the businesses they either founded, or were responsible for, are well known.You may not have heard of Anjali Sud, but you might have heard about Vimeo, which competes with YouTube.
Katrina Lake started Stich Fix.
Ursula Burns is the first black woman to head a fortune 500 company, Xerox.
Madam C.J. Walker was the first black millionaire, with her line of beauty products for black women.
It is a great book to learn about women and business.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

This is a very inspiring book indeed. Not just for little girls but for us big girls also.

So inspiring and an amazing addition to anyones home library. I recommend this book to every woman on this planet Earth.

I have known of Rebel Girls for a few years now and have seen some of their books in local bookstores.
This was the first book I read in full, and feel from the outset that this book in particular would be better for a slightly older/ stronger reader (maybe 10 years old), with terminology such as entrepreneur - however the terminology guide in the back would be extremely beneficial when exploring this book with a younger reader.
The range of women shared was fantastic - across all areas of STEM, from all over the world, of different ethnic and religious backgrounds, this book truly shows that ANY girl can be an entrepreneur, and there is not 'one look' of a business woman, scientist, mathematician or engineer.
QOTD: What did you want to be when you were younger? Did you have a lemonade stand?
AOTD: I wanted to be a Journalist or reviewer! Lemonade stands weren’t popular in my area as a kid!
Through this book, I learnt that the CEO's of Bumble, Canva, Nextdoor & Vimeo are women! I wouldn't have known this otherwise - thus further highlighting the importance of this book! - and Sarah Friar is from Northern Ireland! Same as me!
I feel the build your own business, draw & write about yourself sections really helped bring the book together from a learning perspective. The QR codes are also a modern and interactive addition, which helps bring the book into the digital space.
I found the themes of resilience, growing confidence and following passions reverberated throughout this book. All key to the education of young people.
- I also appreciated that all illustrators were women or non-binary people!
I cannot wait to read further Rebel Girls offerings, and share them with my siblings, and in wider circles!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to read this book.
Rebel girls is a must-have series in a book collection that I strongly advise you all to have. I love all the rebels series and it is one of the most popular books in my library. This series it's reveals all the 25 great entrepreneurs that make a change in the world.
Some of the names I am already familiar with, but among the entrepreneurs, I feel touched when read about Whitney Wolfe Herd's story. Despite being betrayed by her boyfriend and her coworkers she come out stronger than before.
Gender equality is one of the big issues nowadays. I wish I have read this book when I'm young. I will be inspirational but as they say, there's not too late to catch up on your dreams. Since Rebel girls are from overseas, I understand that all the entrepreneurs are from there. However here, is a tiny little suggestion, hoping they will make a series of women from all over the world. Getting a role model from a diversity of world would make this book more interesting to read.
The best part about this book that I like most is that they give a template of a mindmap about how to get on your own business. Encouraging youngsters to become an entrepreneur. So read this book to your child and see what type of entrepreneurs they want to be.

This is another stellar offering from Rebel Girls, although the title/subject matter may limit their audience a bit. Twenty-five women are highlighted in this volume, from all around the world, although there is a large number from the United States. They are mostly entrepreneurs but also business executives in large corporations. There are some fascinating stories here, including Margarete Steiff, the founder of Steiff stuffed animals, who died back in 1909, but her company is still going strong. The youngest woman profiled is Paige Brown, born in 1998! As always, the illustrations are first-rate and are all done by female or nonbinary artists from all over the world.
Thank you to NetGalley and Rebel Girls for the opportunity to read an advance readers copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

In this self explanatory title having book, we learn the stories of 25 women who started their own business and changed (or are currently making) history.
To be honest, my feelings on this one are a little mixed.
The positive: First of all, the amazing illustrations done by several artists. I loved all the different styles of art they were able to put here.
Secondly, it was kind of refreshing to see a book where the main "heroes" don't have to get married or have kids in order to be happy (which I'm sure some of the women mentioned here have and are pleased with, they were just not the focus here.)
And finally, I loved learning about those women I hadn't heard of before. And some of the stories were very well written.
The negative: Well, to continue on from my last point from the list of positives, some of the stories were not actually well written, or rather, interesting enough.
And I was also having these thoughts about how, since this book is aimed at a younger audience, we only scratch the surface of these women's stories. Which begs the question: Did all of them succeed because of determination and hard work, or did they already have some money and privilege to go along with it? Because we all have heard of "self-made millionaires" who in actuality have come from money.
I don't know what this review will achieve in regards of whether it'll make readers pick this up, or ignore it. I just wanted to share my own personal thoughts.
If you made it this far, congratulations!
'Til next time, take care :) :) :)

Another awesome installment of Rebel Girls, this time it’s women entrepreneurs! I absolutely love this series. I buy my daughter, who will definitely be working in a STEM field some day, ALL of them. It’s inspiring the way it’s written for each woman how they dreamed of what they would do as young girls. I loved the story of Paige Brown (CEO of Windbourne)who after discovering her local stream was poisoned, made a filter to get it cleaned up. This project earned her a scholarship. She eventually became an activist for climate change. This is a fantastic bunch of women and I’m so glad I got the opportunity to review this book! Can’t wait to get my own copy.

Thanks to Netgalley and Rebel Girls for the ARC of this!
Another excellent addition to the Rebel Girls line, my kids enjoyed learning about these entrepreneurs. I loved the art and diversity of included people. Recommend if you want more non-fiction for your kids, diverse rep, and overall feel good vibes.

This is a fantastic book filled with inspiring, hardworking, intelligent women with drive, determination and spirit. Reading through the stories of this diverse group of women, some famous or running well known companies, you can't help but feel motivated and inspired!
The stories are short but captivating and there's a beautiful portrait illustration that accompanies each one. My favourite part is the page at the end that allows the reader to add their story and draw their portrait. There's also a page that explains some business terms and then a whole "How To" section on setting up a business.
This is a fantastic book for young girls, especially, who may someday want to be entrepreneurs. I loved it!

The Rebel Girls series is one of our favorites, and this book is no disappointment. It showcases 25 influential women CEOs, entrepreneurs, founders, and investors who have used their creativity and ingenuity to launch new products, build businesses, disrupt industries, and invest in the future. This book is perfect for learners in late elementary to early middle school.

It’s almost bedtime and your daughter asks you to tell her a good night story. Now, you start to think… there’s Cinderella, Aurora, Whitesnow, so many princesses and you should pick up some of them, right?
Well… there’s another option: you could tell her about so many women -REAL women- that have done so much in a world that just wanted them to be quiet, cute and smile.
Rebel girls’ book series is the best choice to start with!
Let’s continue our journey in Rebel girls’ book series with “Rebel Girls Mean Business”.
(Here’s the link for my honest review of “Rebel girls Climate warriors”: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...)
SO, let’s dive into it: How’s the book?
Very great!! I really appreciated it and here’s my thoughts:
PROS:
1. If you read this book, thinking that women can’t do anything, especially being CEOs, entrepreneurs and business women of success, isn’t an option anymore. Everyone should read it!! Especially kids🥺❤️
2. Women in this book have accomplished so much in many different fields but there’s something that they have in common: they all had to face a “NO”, go over a defeat and try again, again and again ‘till they actually make it! So, FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT, baby! Everyone has to face problems and defeats but this book made me think “Ok, everyone can make it”.
3. If you’re a woman that dreams about being a CEO or founding her own company, this book will give you the right motivation to get through and will also let you see that no matter what other people think or say, a woman can really do anything!!
4. Interdisciplinarity: these women aren’t just business women. We have scientists, singers, jewelers, activists… and so on and so forth! AND there’s more: they aren’t just adult women but also young rebel girls that made theirs in this world!
5. I really loved the fairytale structure. I think that’s perfect for being read by parents to their kids before going to bed. It could become a good ritual.
CONS:
1. This book isn’t made for being read all in once. It has to be diluted over time. Risks are that trying to read it all of a sudden won’t make you really enjoy all of the 25 women in this book. Don’t let them stuck in the pages, peak the ones that resonated most with you and search them online!!
2. The title is impactful and I really loved it but… I started to think that’s not a book just for girls. I think that’s a book for everyone out there and maybe “Rebel GIRLS” cuts out possible young readers that could enjoy it.
SO, I hope that my honest review persuaded you to read this book and maybe you’ll suggest it to other people, so we can get our voices louder and louder and louder and not let anyone say to us that we can’t accomplish our dreams!
Many thanks to the authors, the publisher and Netgalley for the eARC!💘

"The most powerful people empower other people." - Nina Vaca
This supposed to be a children's book, so I understand why the stories for each character was told in brief and not too comprehensive way.
Despite the category, I think this book can be read by anyone, aside from their age. It's really inspiring and empowering, that any women (from diverse background) with a dream, courage, and hardwork can be a successful person.
I also like how this book not only tell stories about succesful women, but also encourage readers to start a simple step to build their own business.
I received a digital copy of "Rebel Girls Awesome Entrepreneurs: 25 Tales of Women Building Businesses" from Rebel Girls and NetGalley in exchange for my personal opinion.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to read this book, in exchange for an honest review!
The Rebel Girls franchise hits the bulls eye yet again! I'm really happy that there's a book solely dedicated to helping kids learn about women in the entrepreneurial world, especially given how there's still sexism in pretty much every industry out there. I love how this book shows the importance of women in general, and has the lesson for younger girls that they can literally be anything they want to be, if they put their minds into it. It's very inspirational, and I'm grateful that I can show books like this to my younger cousins and my friends' kids, to empower them from such a young age.
I love how I, a twenty-five-year-old woman, was completely enamored by this book, so I can only imagine how good of an impact this could be for learning, knowledge-hungry kids. I definitely recommend this to EVERYONE; every gender, every age, every person could benefit from learning about the ways different women absolutely thrived in their respective businesses, and how they helped shape the world into what it is now. I also love how there are QR codes there for additional information! The drawings are also still adorable and beautiful, as always!

Title: Rebel Girls Awesome Entrepreneurs
Written by: Rebel Girls
Pub Date: 9 May 2022
Publisher: Rebel Girls
Genre: Business, Leadership, Finance | Children's Nonfiction | Middle Grade
Thank you to both NetGalley and Rebel Girls for giving me an e-ARC for review.
Like most of the Rebel Girls books I found this one to be written in a clear and understandable way. There was not a lot of jargon and even at this the writers had added a short glossary to the back of the book.
I am not sure what it says about me that I didn't know most of the women in this book. Of course I knew Rihanna, and had heard of Madam C.J. Walker.
The only "problem" I had as such was that the majority of the women in the book seem to have a connection with the U.S. for me there was not enough women from other countries.
I also like how there was space for the reader to come up with their own business. Children would probably love that.

The Rebel Girls book series is doing it again.
This book is based on the usual concept: an artsy portrait of the woman in question, matched by a page long mini biography.
The women in this book are probably a tiny bit less known than the ones in other Rebel Girls books but no less important. The focus is on women who run, founded or invest in well known businesses, taking a jump from the inventor of the Steiff teddy bears to the founder of Vimeo.
It's just so empowering and I love the idea of young girls reading this and discovering there are a lot of possibilities in life.

Rebel Girls Awesome Entrepreneurs is another fantastic book to empower girls & nonbinary youth.
The artwork for each entrepreneur is drawn by female and nonbinary artists from around the world. It lends to the statement that you can do anything! I loved that this book includes a step by step guide to drawing up a business plan. I would recommend this book as a staple in every elementary & middle school library!

This book is awesome! It would make an excellent gift for anyone young and ambitious (or even just interested in entrepreneurship, in need of cool women to look up to, or into watching Shark Tank/Dragon's Den) but it's also a wonderful coffee table book for people of any age. I'm definitely going to buy a hard copy for a few people aged 50+ in my life. —The entrepreneurship hustle is universal, and transcends age or race.
Rebel Girls Mean Business is something that would inspire anyone who needs a moment of out-of-the-box anything-is-possible thinking (and the hope of seeing so many brilliant role models) simply by paging through it.
A few of my favourite things about Rebel Girls Mean Business:
♡ The gorgeous, vibrant illustrations of each entrepreneur, created by artists of colour!
♡ That there are many, many women of colour featured —and even though it's because they're arranged alphabetically, it felt significant that they're featured right from the start, not left to the end or scattered in between a sea of white people. This felt very much like 'We're here, and we're a big deal.'
♡ Each of the stories told the businesswomen's journey in a way that conveyed how she solved a problem in her world, or asked a question that hadn't been answered before. It feels very much like a "You too can be an entrepreneur. It really is as simple as thinking about the world in your own special way, and problem-solving the world around you" —The stories are told in a clever, fun, accessible way, using angles that young people will be able to relate to and apply to their own lives.
♡ There's enough info to feel like you learned a lot, but also enough fascinating newness that you'll be intrigued into doing your own research —and that goes for readers of any age! Whether it's a kid learning about what it means to be a venture capitalist, or an adult looking into one of these amazing unique businesses and what they do currently.
I could not recommend this more! If anything about this appeals to you or interests you (or you think would inspire someone you know), it's a huge yes from me. Go get a copy! 10/10 all the stars!

Thank you to NetGalley and Rebel Girls for the opportunity to read and review an e-ARC of this book. This is my second read of a shorter-format Rebel Girls story, with 25 profiles (Climate Warriors being the first) and I find that the chance to get really specific on an individual topic is a very effective format. This would be a great read for the budding entrepreneur, or a kid who's starting to take their creativity and enthusiasm for a particular sport or hobby etc. into a potential business or career direction.
I found that within the short format, some profiles were much more successful for me than others. For example, Mikaila Ulmer's story of being stung by bees as a child, then doing her research and finding her passion for bee-saving activism, all ties in to her lemonade company's founding and mission while still being a relatable story for kids. While, for example, I found Melanie Perkins' story just as interesting, but I didn't see the connection between introducing her as a little kid who was an ice skater and teenager who made scarves to then ultimately working in computer design and starting with Canva. It's all awesome info that shows us that she was always creative and thinking ahead to the next project, but there's just such a short amount of page space to tell us so little that I found some biographies more to-the-point than others.
Additionally, profiles like Noura Sakkijha's show us the thought process behind noticing something that's missing in an existing market. In a lot of the inventor-style stuff I've read before there's a lot of focus on creating something entirely unique and special, and that's great, but I appreciate how much room there is to make something better/more streamlined/more ecofriendly/market better etc. and how much that moves the market. I think young readers will benefit greatly from seeing someone improve upon their surroundings in meaningful ways.
Note: if the title is still up for discussion, I much prefer the title of my advanced copy, "Awesome Entrepreneurs," over "Mean Business." I think "business" is a more accessible word, but "mean" feels more loaded with the baggage of needing to be a certain type of aggressive to succeed, something the figures in this book don't necessarily promote.

(Note: The advance review copy I received was titled "Rebel Girls Awesome Entrepreneurs", but it is the same book.)
This well-titled book is indeed awesome! It's filled with mini-biographies of innovative women who started with a dream, and went on to created their own successful companies, or vastly improve companies they worked for. I appreciated the generational mix, with women representing various decades. We learn about Madam C.J. Walker, who created her black hair care product line in the Victorian and Edwardian eras, And we are introduced to Mikaila Ulmer, born in 2004 and already making great strides in bee conservation and her honey-sweetened lemonade business, In between those extremes, women from many points on the timeline are featured. There is a role model for every young girl.
After the bios, there's a blank page for the young reader to write their story and draw their own portrait, if they want to. There's also a glossary of business words to learn, and (the best part!) a step-by-step "Build Your Own Business" guide that's realistic and practical.
This books is part of the "Rebel Girls" series. The mini-bio format is used throughout, with each book highlighting the accomplishments of women in various occupations, from athletes to mothers and daughters. I've read a few and really enjoy them. I wish I'd had these books to educate and inspire me when I was young.
My thanks to Rebel Girls and NetGalley for allowing me to read a digital advance review copy of this book. This review is my honest and unbiased opinion.

I received an eARC copy from Rebel Girls via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Note: The eARC copy received is titled Rebel Girls Awesome Entrepreneurs.
One more marvellous edition to the Rebel Girls series, this time focusing on successful businesswomen and entrepreneurs; some of them I have not heard of, so it was a learning time for me as well.
Starting and running a business is no easy feat; being a businesswoman and entrepreneur, having your voice heard is just as challenging. As long as there are visions and plans, fueled with creativity and ingenuity, backed up with confidence, hard work and drive that these ideas will succeed, anything is possible. And this book proves exactly that; not only did these fierce women face usual bumps on the road, like the difficulty of finding a job, bullying, or physical disability, they each made bold moves and had creative minds to turn a problem into an opportunity.
A great addition to this edition is the short business vocabulary and the brain workout on building your own business; such an encouraging move to push young people to think business.

Rebel Girls Awesome Entrepreneurs will inspire the next generation to become young business owners.
Once again Rebel Girls has done a fantastic job introducing readers to 25 inspiring women in business. With an easy to read page on their life and what inspires these women next to a large (and honestly stunning) illustration & quote.
Each segment has engaging graphics and colours with basic facts about the 25 women such as when they were born and which countries they come from/are based in. There are very few from out of the USA and I didn't notice anyone from my own country which from a list of 25 would be hard to achieve but I was hopeful!
The end of the book actually sealed the deal for me. After the 25 profiles of inspiring women you are met with a template to add yourself to this book- a really lovely touch I thought.
This book has also set out steps to be able to build your own business and tips for how to set yourself up for success - all aimed at children and teens.
As a business owner I found this book to be really on the mark and something I would be really happy to gift my own children.
I was gifted a digital copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review

After I read Climate Warriors, I knew I would read more by Rebel Girls. Finding this one was a treat as well.
Rebel Girls Awesome Entrepreneurs is full of interesting stories about women who have started businesses. Not only did I get to learn about new products (I have a list of businesses I now want to support) but it also was able to educate me on the business world in a way that was easy to understand.
While I liked the art in Climate Warriors a bit more than this one, that doesn’t mean the art was bad. I love that Awesome Entrepreneurs had a variety of different artists to help create this gorgeous book. Every woman had their portrait painted next to their information. I enjoyed being able to see these women and picture how they look without having to Google them every single page.
I also like that there is a “write your story” section on the back. I would definitely recommend this book if you have kids. I also enjoy that at the end they had a little how-to-build-a-business guide for inquiring minds. They even have a section at the end where they interviewed children who had started little companies, and have a slime recipe from one of the little girls.
