Rebel Girls are Back With More Good Night Stories

By February 25, 2018New Releases

At a time when women are getting a bigger voice than ever before, Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls has proven a publishing sensation. It’s the most successful book in the history of crowdfunding, has sold more than a million copies worldwide and has become a symbol of resistance in these changing times.

The book is a collection of “100 tales of extraordinary women”, written in a way that makes it suitable for all ages, and now Part 2 is coming!

The books are inspired by authors Favilli and Cavallo’s sense of frustration at a lack of role models for girls in fiction and film. We see Rapunzel wait for her prince, Sleeping Beauty sleep a hundred years, and Cinderella who is also waiting to be saved by a man, but women’s stories aren’t really like that. With Rebel Girls you can be sure that once upon a time there were female scientists, judges, athletes, writers and politicians, all with remarkable stories too and Rebel Girls, and the upcoming Rebel Girls 2 feature these strong women from history.

While silencing shouts try and deny the gender imbalances in literature, those with their eyes open cannot help but notice them. Recently a study by the Observer noted that boys are twice as likely to take the lead role in children’s books, while the Washington Post rightly pointed out that in The Day the Crayons Quit not a single crayon is identified with a female pronoun. Did you not notice? That’s part of the problem!

Rebel Girls 2 is already available in hardback in the US and releases in the UK this week.
