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!

Staying true to the previous Rebel Girls books, Rebel Girls Lead doesn't disappoint. These leaders all have inspiring stories to share. This book sends a powerful message to girls everywhere that they can truly achieve greatness in many ways. I really enjoyed reading about these groundbreaking female leaders from all over the world and different walks of life.

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.

The inspiration for this book was truly historical, I love the Rebel girls collection and see some of my favorites Powerful women again in this compilation of 25 women that change the world was inspiring I'll be purchasing a copy for my niece who is a total rebel girl ♥

This was short and sweet. I love that the creators of Rebel Girls published a collection of stories to highlight powerful women to commemorate Kamal Harris. Would highly recommend to all age groups.

This was fun! I liked this a lot! I thought the illustrations were really nice, I liked the different stories we got from the different Rebel Girls. I think my favorites overall were Kamala and Cleopatra! Its a nice quick read, and informative but not too informative that it feels like a bore or a drag! They give you the important bits, and tell what you they stood for!

I love the idea of this book, it is brightly colored, not too long, and I love the action items at the back (the quiz and how to get started in activism). The downsides to it were the writing style. It was a weird combination of overly simplistic, short sentences with words and concepts that this age range wouldn't understand. My 10-year-old daughter asked me what I was reading and when I showed her, she said she wouldn't read it. While I doubt that is true, for some reason it didn't initially appeal to her. Also, while there was a large variety of women and occupations represented (from gymnasts to pharaohs to politicians) the politicians and activism were all very democratic and "left" leaning. I would love to have seen a more balanced representation.

This book is beautiful in so many ways! The stories are the perfect length to keep my daughter engaged and the illustrations are captivating. The concise one page format makes the stories easily digestible and perfect for a little reading session or bed time story. I loved being able to find a book with real stories of amazing women to share with my daughters. The target of this book is middle grade, but my daughters who are younger than that, have liked these stories. I also very much enjoyed learning about some women I didn’t know about or just enhancing my knowledge of women I already knew of. There’s something here for everyone, so I think this book would be good for any reader.

This particular book covers 25 different women, from different backgrounds, past and present that impacted the world in some positive way. Each woman has a one page narrative with an illustrated portrait. There’s a place at the end for you to write your own story and draw your own illustration, which I thought was a fun and nice touch. There’s also a leadership quiz and resources linked at the end.

Women covered in this book are Aly Raisman, Angela Merkel, Ann Richards, Cleopatra, Elizabeth I, Eufrosina Cruz, Giusi Nicolini, Harriet Tubman, Jacinda Ardern, Kamala Harris, Lady Gaga, Leymah Gbowee, Malala Yousafzai, Mary Barra, Melinda Gates, Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Pat Summitt, Rigoberta Menchu Tum, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Sonia Sotomayor, Stacy Abrams, Tammy Duckworth, Wilma Mankiller + Xiye Bastida.

In a time when gender norms are being broken and glass ceilings are being shattered, Rebel Girls has written Rebel Girls Lead. This book tells the story of 25 different women from all walks of life, and how each opened new doors for women. Stories about athletes (Aly Raisman, US Gymnast and Pat Summit, Basketball Coach, Tennessee), activists (Malala Yousafzai and Harriet Tubman), politicians (German Chancellor Angela Merkel and current US Vice President-elect Kamala Harris) and entertainers (Oprah Winfrey and Lady Gaga.)

The target group is middle grade students, but anyone can learn from it. I loved this book, and I would recommend it to Rebel Girls of all ages. I look foward to reading more from this organization.

Oh, this is another fantastic book in the Rebel Girls series! Love all the information brought to readers in a fun, informative, and meaningful way. This is sure to inspire children, especially young girls to reach for their dreams.

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was a great collection of real-life stories about women leaders. I really liked it!

These 25 tales were interesting, especially since there were a lot of stories about women and girls I hadn't heard about. I feel ashamed to have not heard about some of them. I like that it doesn't delve too deep into their lives, just the key points, which leads you to wanting to learn more about them. The illustrations in this book are so beautiful.

First of all, thank you to Netgalley, Rebel Girls, and Scholastic for this Advanced Reader's Copy.

Another user (sorry, I didn't see the username or review again), asked "What do Lady Gaga, Harriet Tubman, and Cleopatra all have in common? Well, they're rebels."

If you haven't read any of the Rebel Girl anthologies, then this is a good one to start with because it's shorter than the others but gives you a good sampling of what the anthologies sound, look, and feel like.

Each page tells the story of a woman rebel or, in other words, a woman who defied societal norms and overcame challenges to break the glass ceiling. Although some of the stories are pulled from the other anthologies, there are 11 brand new, highly relevant stories. For example, Lady Gaga's entry ends with a description about how she put together a worldwide virtual concert during the global pandemic.

I applaud and love rhe company's message, which I'd make sure to read to any child before even starting the rest of the book. I also like how a lot of the information is generalized, though focused on the most influential and powerful events, in the rebel woman's life. This definitely prompts curious kids to research that woman further.

My favorite part, though, were the illustrations (all the illustrators were women and diverse -- women from various countries) and the quotes selected to accompany each illustration. Each one is especially curated for each rebel and captures each one to her essence and core belief.

I highly recommend this book for ages 3-13 (starting as a read aloud for the young ones).

I received an ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for my unbiased opinion.

Rebel Girls Lead is a collection of one-page stories about various women and girls who have led in their areas of specialty and what they have accomplished. These stories cross the spectrum for country, ethnicity, and subject, with a larger focus on American women. Each story is a great introduction to a powerful woman and perfect for young children to find a role model. At the end of the book, there is a page where they can write their own story and draw their picture, a quiz to find out what kind of leader they are, and activities to practice their own leadership. Each drawing of the women featured in this book is created by a different woman, allowing a number of artistic women to show off their skills. I highly recommend this book for any elementary school student!

This is another great book in the Rebel Girls series and a great way to celebrate Kamala Harris being elected Vice President of USA. It is a great collection of short stories about inspiring women who have done amazing things from current day female leaders to historical figures. My daughter was so excited when I told her there was a new Rebel Girls book, and so we read this together. We will definitely be buying a physical copy for our collection. The illustrations are lovely as always.

Wow, what an inspirational book that celebrates strong, powerful women! I absolutely love the layout of this one - text on the side and a picture of the woman with a quote on the other side. I'll be honest, I haven't heard of most that are featured, but that didn't take away from their story and achievements at all. This book would be great for anyone really, but especially younger/teenage girls maybe.
