PRINCESSES are passe. Those powerless, delicate women who couldn't wait to marry Prince Charming have been upstaged by strong, real women who take life into their own hands. And here's proof. Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls introduces us to a hundred such girls who defy all odds to be whatever they want to be. A girl can be a trombonist, a rapper, a ruler, an astronomer, a painter, a pirate, a primatologist, or even a boy.
The book, which is a product of crowdfunding on Kickstarter, is a must-read for many reasons, but mostly because of the powerful message that is stamped across each page and every story: girls can be whatever they choose to be.
