"You get in life what you have the courage to ask for." - Oprah Winfrey
This book is a strong motivation for women around the world. Ranging from Michelle Obama to Beyonce, Amelia Earhart to Oprah Winfrey, the first female black American pilot to the first female gold medallion. Women really do rule the world. As a feminist, I enjoyed all the inspirational quotes said by legendary women. This book is a representation of women forming unity and supporting each other through it all. A wonderful book that society needs to read today.

This book isn't what I thought it would be. I thought it would focus more on questions that have been asked of girls, and then answered by other Rebel Girls' experiences. In reality, the contributors have focused on quotes and thoughts of famous women, and applied them to real-life situations. I love the Rebel Girls series and think that they have a lot to offer, but I don't think this is their strong point.

I love the Rebel Girls book and feel like they are great for all ages. I always learn about some new hero that I immediately want to learn all about. This book is different. It still highlights some amazing women, but it feels skewed significantly younger instead of appealing to everyone.

I wish there was a book like this when I was a young girl to ask me questions about who I want to be.

I received a copy from NetGalley, and all opinions are my own.

Another excellent read from the Rebel Girls series. This book is more of a fact book and poses lots of questions for youngsters to think about and is aimed at generating discussion. The illustrations are bold and colourful, the fonts vary in sizes and colours which helps the words jump off the page to keep the reader engaged. From people like Lady Gaga, Michelle Obama, Jane Goodall and many more, we hear facts about their lives and personalities and then are asked questions in relation to this. I love the fact that this book is current. For example the reader is given facts about Jacinda Ardern, the Prime Minister of New Zealand, and talks about how she locked down NZ due to Coronavirus. The reader is then asked what they would have done? This book is great for prompting discussions round the dinner table with my children and encouraging them to form opinions.

Absolutely love this addition to the Rebel Girls books! It would go well with reading any of the other books, or it can stand alone.

Every single page in this book is a great starting point for engaging and thoughtful discussions. With a bright and engaging page layout design, your eyes are drawn to every question and quote.

There are gorgeous illustrations and portraits of many inspiring women that are fun and engaging to look at across many different styles.

The questions are a wonderful variety including questions that ask what do you think, what can you do, and what do you observe in the world around you. Excellent questions to prompt deeper thoughts and consideration.

This is a great addition to the Rebel Stories series.

Some of this information is reused from other books in the Rebel Girls series but it’s fun to ask the “would you rather” type questions with my daughter and discuss our answers.

One of the series that I love so much is the books being released by Rebel Girls. I wish that they had been around when I was a tween/teenage girl as I might have been able to look up to some strong female heroes instead of plastering my wall with celebrities and movie stars. Each page in Questions for Rebel Girls features one of history's and today's strong female heroes and a series of questions relating to the things that role model has achieved or the qualities they possess. This book is great to start discussions with one another and if you are running a girl’s group or book club, then this book will spur a lot of different topics/themes to talk about. When I worked at the library, one of the groups I wanted to start was an inspiring group for girls who don't fit in and was going to do something similar to this book and this book would have been the perfect resource. The other thing I loved about this book is each page is brightly illustrated and entertaining. Questions for Rebel Girls is a book that would make a good reference guide to have on your bookshelf, as it is the type of book that you don't just read once - but one that you can refer back to every couple of months as each time you read, you will learn something different and no one reading time will be the same experience. The questions in this book are also thought-provoking and guaranteed to get those creative juices and mindfulness thoughts flowing.
Perfect for girls aged 7 - 15 years old.

I felt that this was a clever addition to the Rebel Girls series, which uses short, snappy details about inspirational women and their achievements to then pose questions to the reader. The women come from all walks of life from, artists, writers, scientists, sport and media, and the variety of questions posed cover everything from overcoming adversity, to what are the readers dreams and aspirations. It works really well in getting the reader to think about what might be possible and how they would achieve it, all done through positive reinforcement. A good book for individuals, but also for using with group discussion.

Questions for Rebel Girls does not disappoint. The illustrations Gorgeous, the questions are a great mix of would you rather and deeper thinking questions like "have you ever been on an adventure that changed the way y0u see the world." I personally will be using some of these questions in my middle school classes as a fun way to get them warmed up for class. These questions are pretty universal not just for girls. This really is a great book and will be nice to have in my back pocket for teaching.

This was such a beautiful book and a great resource for young kids everywhere, especially little girls looking for inspirational women. Unlike other Rebel Girls books before it, this takes a different approach. Instead of a fairytale-like vignette about each woman's life, it's just a little statement relating to the woman. Next to that are a series of questions kids will ask themselves and provide answers to while reading.

As always, the art was insanely beautiful and this was such a vibrant and enjoyable book.

Oh my goodness, Questions for Rebel Girls is another outstanding book from the series. These are the books I needed as a young girl, and I am so grateful they exist for me to share with my daughter. She absolutely loves the questions brought up throughout the book among the engaging, bright, visually stunning profiles of some truly amazing women! I love the quotes that are added in from these women which facilitate more conversation on the topics touched on. There are fun questions along with more serious ones. and we both love the mix! This book would make the PERFECT gift for a young girl in your life. It is beautiful inside and out, and has so much positivity to offer. My daughter and I highly recommend it! I can't wait to see what Rebel Girls come up with next.

I love the Rebel Girls series, and I plan on getting this newest edition for my nieces. Anything that encourages kids to think about interesting subjects is always fabulous in my opinion!!!

I couldn't love this book more!!!
It looks at things that a "famous" person has said or done, and then uses that as a starting point to ask questions to relate it to your own life. I have used "" around brackets because some of these people may not necessarily be what your child considers famous!

Ie: Jane Goodall devoted her life to studying chimpanzees. *If you dedicated your life to studying one type of animal what would it be.
When Matilde Montoya was barred from finishing medical school in Mexico because she was a girl, she wrote to the president of the entire country, asking him to step in on her behalf, and he did. *Who can you ask for help when you feel you're being treated unfairly? *If you could ask the leader of your country any question right not, what would it be?

I love how this gets children thinking, about themselves and about the wider world while also learning about what has happened to other women and how they have learnt and progressed from it.

I love this series is the third book that I have read in this collection and I think that they are amazing and it’s great to know the history and the achievements of nationally known women across the globe that have achieved many great things and set in motion great advances for females and I think this is great to have a special need to read the younger generations as it can prove that we are achievable that we cannot be limited as females

I truly love the Rebel Girls series and Questions for Rebel Girls is no exception! Instead of focusing on educating and informing young readers on all the amazing women around the world and their accomplishments, Questions for Rebel Girls focuses instead on the readers, prompting them to think and explore to discover their self-identities.

Questions for Rebel Girls includes the series' accustomed bright colors, inspirational quotes, and bright and detailed illustrations.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an ARC!

Rebel Girls does it again with another fabulous book about incredible women! The latest instalment in this series features women you know and have mad respect for like Lady Gaga, actress Lupita Nyong’o, Michelle Obama, RBG, Amanda Gorman and the list goes on of talented, courageous, diverse women, both from history and present day.

What is truly unique about this book is that there are discussion questions on every page: “do you believe that poetry can help bring people together”, “what do you do when someone is unkind to you”, and “how does nature take care of you”?

The illustrations are vibrant and gorgeous - it’s a fun and educational read and anything that fosters a moment of connection and dialogue between you and your kiddo is always worthwhile! I’ve been gifting this series to my niece since the first one was published and can’t wait to send this next one to her!

This Rebel Girls book is a bit different than the rest. Not only does it provide inspirational facts and quotes from inspirational Rebel Girls/Women, the book asks questions that challenge, inspire, and uplifts the "rebels" reading the book. I especially love seeing some of the quotes from rebel girls who answered the posed questions. The graphics are phenomenal, as always. This is definitely a great book to gift or house on the bookshelves of a classroom and/or library.
