I loved these bite-sized bios of amazing women in music! There was a wonderful variety--from current big names (Olivia Rodrigo! Lizzo! M.I.A.!) to timeless musicians with established, fruitful careers (Dolly Parton! Joni Mitchell! Queen Latifah!) to lesser-known female musicians who broke through barriers we don't talk about enough (Big Mama Thornton! Evelyn Glennie! Laura Jane Grace!), this book has it all. I loved the representation in the book and the brief descriptions for each--I can totally see a kiddo becoming interested in a musician in this book and doing further research.

All of the Rebel Girls books I've read so far have been well-written, informative, and beautifully designed, and this was no exception.

I loved the concept of this book all about women in music (Like You Go Girl!), I learned a lot about these inspiring women and loved that there was an opportunity with QR codes to find out more about their music and themselves.

I highly recommend this book to all and will be buying a copy for my own library

A Rebel Girls book about women rockers. Perfect read for someone who loves music and want to learn about some of the women who made the music in the past. From Ella Fitzgerald to the K-Pop group Blackpink. These one-page essays are great introductions to women in music. Whether you like folk music or rock music, these women will inspire you. These Rebel Girls are from around the world and in different genres of music. They sing about love and the world, including issues that have affected them and the world around them. When you’re done reading about these Rebel girls, you’re encouraged to make your own music and a mood board. Great essays to get you intrigued about the women in music and to inspire your own music. Included are QR codes for each the musicians featured in the book.

Thank you Netgalley for the free digital copy of this title in exchange for an honest review.

I should start by saying I am a huge fan of the rebel girls books, they are beautifully illustrated and are a fantastic resource for young, emerging women who are seeking other women who have changed our world and made an impact. It is beautiful to have the opportunity to see ourselves through these great women, and to offer tales of success and perserverence for young girls to look up to as they age and engage with the world around them as well. This title is filled with women who have changed the world of music in one way or another, and who's stories are an inspiration to share. Each page is filled with the artists story as well as a quote, and their birthday. the book also offers QR codes throughout the book to engage with the material further. As I am always looking for ways to extend the content of a book beyond the book, I found this one to be especially engaging as it offers an opportunity to learn about the artist, then listen to their music and seek out videos of their performances and interviews.

A truly beautiful read for folks of all ages. We will definitely be recommending a copy of this title for purchase within the library.

Thank you for letting me read and review this book. As a soon to be teacher I love finding books like this that can show the little boys and girls all of these amazing personalities. I’ve seen a few books like this one and the music theme really got me, since I’m a big fan of music. I will absolutely recommend this book.

This was so much fun to read withy teen nephew who loves music so much. We found it informative as well.

Music is a universal language, and this book provides diverse, high profile examples of how women entered and influenced music. Each entry is short enough to use as a quick read-aloud for a class or to hold the attention of reluctant readers. I absolutely will recommend this as a middle school classroom library selection.

This is a great series and is always full of fascinating facts about remarkable women. In this book there is a great mix of both well known and less familiar music artists, just enough information to get a good feel for them and take curious minds forward, alongside the usual vibrant artwork. I have already looked up the work of several I didn't know!

I think this is one of my favorites of the Rebel Girls series. It starts with an introduction by Joan Jett, who I love. It features 25 women in the music industry from all over the world. (Obviously not every country!) And it's illustrated by various women artists.

3.5 stars.

Rebel Girls Rock is a solid entry to the Rebel Girls series, offering up twenty-five different stories about women in music. It highlights a variety of women in music (ranging from producers and executives to singers, rappers, and instrumentalists) from a variety of different places around the world (although with a focus on the US). This is actually one where I wish that it had been one of the full length books to include more women from a bigger variety of countries and representing a bigger variety of genres, as well as representing more women who aren't quite as famous as many of the women here are. Still though, it's a solid collection, a quick read, and the art is great as always. It's definitely worth reading for kids interested in music!

Continuing on the campaign of having a Rebel Girl book about any subject you can think of, this covers music – from deaf modern classical percussionists I've been fortunate enough to meet, to Joni Mitchell, and from Lebanese rockers all the way down to the dregs (ooh, hello, Lizzo – wouldn't have seen you there were it not for your abject attention seeking). I'm a bit miffed that riot grrl is still a thing, for it was certainly never enjoyable the first time round, but on the whole this does just what the franchise has always done, and in covering Tuaregs, Tejano and Thais alike, is ridiculously wide-ranging and very successful. Joan Jett offers a brilliant introduction, too – and obviously the point of it all was that that was in itself a surprise to me.

A perfect book about female who have made a name for themselves in the music industry, this also encourages young children to pursue what they dream. This is a perfect collection of rel life stories and inspiration

Cute book for children. Not much info I did not already know but cute illustrations and a good selection of artists

From Canada to Niger, the US to New Zealand and Lebanon to the UK this is a great selection of women representing all areas of the globe. With instrumentalists, singers, songwriters and producers from all over the world there is a figure to inspire any young music lover. In the familiar Rebel Girls style we read a page about as musical Rebel Girl with a bright illustration accompanying it, here are 25 stories of inspiring women along with super-small biographies (around a sentence each) of many more to give readers a flavour and other people to research. There are also a great range of activities to inspire and encourage young readers to get involved in music in a range of ways.

I recieved this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Music is very important but, like many other things, machism prevents some women from wanting to practice in the music field due to fear or threats (and yes, of course, some have been threatened and harassed).

I liked that at the end of the reading they not only present us with 25 women relate in music, there are two more pages with women who have experienced music in different ways. Thank you very much for not putting the same people that we already know and trying to bring to light women that we could know and love, but again, we need more Latin, African and Asian!

Thanks to Netgalley for the copy!

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are my own."

First of all I did not notice until now that the book was written by Joan Jett. Secondly it's amazing like all Rebel Girls books.

Not only do we explore talented female musicians in all genres, we meet music executives, song writers and producer. It's just a fabulous book to expand your mind and maybe your music taste.

Great short book about some empowering women in the music biz. I loved the diversity of performers, executives, songwriters, and musicians.

“Rebel Girls Rock- 25 Tales of Women in Music” is a beautifully curated collection of stories about diverse women who have made a difference in the music scene.

While I’ve heard of some of the musicians mentioned, I got to learn about many that I never heard of. Like all of the Rebel Girls books, the art was colorful and beautiful. I was very excited to read this and it definitely lived up to my expectations. At the end of the book there is information encouraging young ones to write their own music, with different resources to help out. I’m excited for more future editions of this series. 5 stars. I also reviewed this on goodreads but am unable to link it for some reason.

Loved this book, so did my eight year old daughter. Always so inspiring and great at catching a child's imagination for what is possible in the world. Thank you!

FIVE Stars!!! Loved this one and so did my daughters!

Thank you Netgalley and publishing company for the gifted copy. We will be purchasing this one!
