Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls, Volume 1: 100 Tales of Extraordinary Women by Francesca Cavallo, Elena Favilli, Rebel Girls

5.0

---

Could I give this one 6 stars? I had such high hopes and it proved even more delightful than I dreamed it'd be. It got us thinking, talking and prompted lots of other conversations (about: sign language, civil rights, slavery, systems of marriage that sell women to their husbands, that one time I *almostcertainly* saw Yoko Ono when I was in NYC...) It is all approached with the right amount of information, and inspires even Rebel Women ;)

Although, the Hillary Clinton one made me cry a bit. And my daughter knew it would. *sigh*
