Once more we find ourselves facing the story of strong woman that have persue their dreams and, against all odds, succeeded in a world that pushes female down.

This new compilation, brings back (since most of them were already published on previous installments) biographies of powerful woman, in hopes to inspire a new generation of girls to fight for what is right, work hard, follow their dreams and make this world a better, inclusive world.

This book is a tool of empowerment. It gives brief stories of strong, courageous women that when put into the hands of little girls, will allow the girls to fly. Each story is a page long, just right for upper elementary students and has an accompanying full page image of the individual.
At the end there are activities for the girl to do to see how to bring her inner leader out.
This is a must have book for young girls.
Many thanks to Net Galley for providing me with an ARC of this book.

First, this is a very US centred book, but the fact that its incredibly up to date (Kamala!!) means that many of the women featured will be familiar to even non-US students. One page each of readable information about a wonderful array of leaders, with great graphics and then some information about leadership in general at the end. Wonderful as a stand alone resource or as a jumping off point for further research or project work. I will definitely be buying a copy of this for my classroom.

I was provided a free copy of this from @netgalley and @rebelgirls in exchange for my honest review.
This is another great instalment in the Rebel Girls series that focuses on leaders. Many women across the world have broken barriers to become the first female leader in many different fields, whether it's politics, activism, or business. These women didn't let the "norm" stand in their way of standing up and taking the lead! If you've enjoyed other Rebel Girls books, or if this is your first time reading one, you will not be disappointed with this instalment! And it comes out tomorrow!! A good choice for any little leaders in your life!

Thank you to NetGalley and Rebel Girls for kindly providing me with a digital copy of this book for review.
I’m a huge fan of the Rebel Girls books, and have read the previous books to my sons. I firmly believe in raising my boys to find women inspirational and worthy of respect.
This collection has some very current personalities, particularly if you’ve been following American politics lately. But there is also some notable women from history as well such as Cleopatra and Harriet Tubman. My eldest son was particularly pleased to see the Cleopatra addition as he is autistic and Ancient Egypt is his particular special interest. In fact, if the Rebel Girls team want to put out a Rebel Girls of Ancient Egypt- you’d certainly have a buyer in the form of my son!
I really enjoy the format of these books- the dates the person lived are clearly laid out, the biography is concise but informative and the opposite page is a stunning illustration portrait and a quote from the notable person.
Highly recommend and I will definitely be continuing to read any other Rebel Girls books they put out.

My next gift to my nieces definitely will be Rebel Girls Lead by Rebel Girls! The importance of the book lies in its choice of women highlighted; including educators, politicians, athletes, CEO's and freedom fighters such as Oprah, Tammy Duckworth, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Pat Summitt, Malala, Wilma Mankiller and Aly Raisman. Each woman has a one-page synopsis of her life and why she is a rebel girl with a fabulous illustration on the next page. The illustrations are amazing! Concluding the book, the reader will find a page for her to write her autobiography and a page to draw her portrait.

Such a positive read for girls! Here's a quote from the Foreword. "The women in this book started out just like you. They were kids who had dreams and fears, hopes and questions. They were full of curiosity and a desire to make a difference. They faced challenges, and they kept going. And the world will remember them for their leadership."

I wish such a wonderful book had been available when I was a girl!

Thank you for the opportunity to read Rebel Girls and to provide my humble review.

Thank you to NetGalley and Rebel Girls for an opportunity to read this amazing book.

This middle grade book highlights 25 strong female leaders - from Cleopatra to Kamala, from Harriet Tubman to Malala - a wide variety of female leaders in variety of fields - including sports, entertainment, business and politics.

Each leader is featured with a “once upon a time” story and beautiful illustrations.

This is a powerful book for young readers, and also provides an opportunity and space for them to write their own story !

Rebel Girls Lead is filled with one page biographies detailing some of the most inspiring women in our current history. I loved how accessible the stories were for my 8 year old daughter and the brevity served as a jumping off point for family discussions.

As a teacher, I see so much potential for use in the classroom. These short snippets would allow students to compare, contrast, and research, while also seeing their own potential through revolutionary women. As a note, most of the women mentioned mold United States history, so if you are looking for stories that represent our world, you may want to look at a previous edition. Thank you to Netgalley and Rebel Girls Publishers for an advanced reader’s copy in exchange for my honest review.

Another amazing installment! I’m excited to read this one with my kids, especially my 7 year old daughter. The art is, as always, lovely, and I loved the diversity of the women included, I was excited to see some of my heroes here, along with some people I hadn’t heard of yet.

This was a terrific, albeit short, collection of inspiring stories about female leaders. Many thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for making it available well before the historic moment of Kamala Harris being sworn in as the first female vice president. It was interesting to read something about the future before history has been made.

Each profile contains some really interesting background and challenges that each women faced, accompanied by beautiful artwork on the opposing page (along with an inspiring quote). One can learn so much even about the people who are well known and ever more so of those who one may not. I couldn't recommend this more to young girls and even boys or non-binary children. All of the women in this book are wonderful examples of determination, hard work and overcoming adversity. Even if success does not last or come right-away, there's reason to persevere. The final section of a quiz of leadership type and other activities are also wonderful because they allow the child to really engage with the content and to find out that there are so many different ways to lead.

I hope that Rebel Girls will consider also shining a light on women who may not be in the public eye as well.

I might be reluctant to purchase a book with only 25 stories unless the price was adequate. It would have been wonderful to learn about even more women from the non-English speaking parts of the world.

We're all familiar with the Rebel Girls format by now. This book picks some of the women who have featured in other books, along with new entries, specialising in women who are leaders in various fields. As always, each entry in illustrated by a different female artist; I think my favourite is the stunning Oprah Winfrey picture, but they're all gorgeous in different ways. I couldn't tell any difference between the new entries and the old ones, either, they're all well up to the same high standards.

I really enjoyed this. I think it's a fabulous addition to the series, and I can't wait to see it in person.

This book was absolutely adorable and I loved the variety of girls and women shown, both where they were from and how old they were, especially the younger girls, who'll inspire the girls reading this book that they can make change even from a young age. The art was stunning.

Thank you to Rebel Girls and NetGalley for providing this ARC.

Thank you to @netgalley, the publisher and author for gifting me this free e-ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I loved this book and loved learning a bit about women who help change the world bot by bit. There are some I already know about and some I've just learned about. What I like about this book is that the stories are short and summarize key points of the life of the woman it's about.

The illustrations are marvelous and I will try and find the other rebel girls books.

I haven't read any book from the Rebel Girls series yet, so I'd like to thank NetGalley and the publishers for giving me an opportunity to be inspired by these 25 women.

I feel ashamed that I didn't know about many of the indigenous and women of colour mentioned in this book before. They've done so much to help make the lives of people in their community better and safer everyday, and I'm hopeful that reading stories of such brilliant women will inspire girls and transwomen all over the world.

The last few pages of this book have a worksheet for every reader to explore their leadership skills and put them to practice in a real-world simulation setting. I hope parents and educators use these questions as shooting-off points for further discussions about feminism, equality, leadership, and being a helpful rebel.

This was brilliant. A collection of short chapters of many brilliant, strong women with the most beautiful illustrations. A great addition to any child's, teenager's or classroom bookshelf!

I took my time reading this book to my two girls. Either at breakfast or over lunch each day I would read about one person. We really loved this book... or in the words of my six year old “we don’t like it. We love it!”. Thanks for writing another amazing Rebel Girls book.

Such a cute book! I love the idea of the Rebel Girls series, and they're perfect for younger readers. I really liked the fact this book has space at the back for you to put yourself in as an entry. If I have one complaint, it would be that they're a little Western centric, I'd really love to see more Rebel Girls from Africa and Asia.

What a fabulous read! This was short and sweet for me, as an adult, but what a book! It's the book I wish I had been given as a child, as with all of the Rebel Girl books. With a rise of women running for office across the world, this book is important to all young people to know that women/girls have a voice that can make changes, be impactful and change the world.

I have already recommended to my friends with daughters and will definitely use for classroom inspiration in the future. Thank you Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Absolutely loved this one just like the other two I’ve read from this series! I didn’t realize that half of these stories would be taken word for word from the previous installments but I still enjoyed learning about all the ladies. I think having just read the first Rebel Girls book I remembered the repeat stories so I felt like I was skipping large portions of the stories. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who hasn’t read from this series yet!

I read a lot of books about women in history and it is not often that there is a large selection of women in them I am not familiar with. This book contains a large variety of women leaders that goes beyond the normal offering. With short text about each one and beautiful illustration this is a great resource for all ages.
