I loved this book and was also pleased to see that it included girls and women from many countries outside of the USA. The stories are seriously impressive and highlight females who are not usuallly in the news. It’s amazing what Nemonte Nemquino from Ecuador achieved and I was impressed by Marjory Stoneman Douglas who saved the Everglades in Florida and lived to be 108 years. There are some truly incredible women showcased here and it’s so important that their achievements and the critical work they are doing is given a voice as well as show girls that they too are capable of such positive impact. I liked the diversity of projects too from very rural areas to urban cities like Paris. What I also think is important, is that many projects came about because a girl noticed that something was wrong, decided to do something about it and then overcame obstacles to make that difference. This demonstrates that with just an idea with some perseverance, anyone can make a change. I hope that readers will look up and find out more about the various organizations women and projects in the book. As always with the Rebel Girls books, there is space to think about and write up ideas for your own project. What will your’s be?
