“My favorite part of Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls is how many extraordinary women Rebel Girls have opened up to me and my two daughters.”—Drew Barrymore

A contemporary classic, Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls reinvents fairy tales, inspiring girls with the extraordinary true stories of 100+ heroic women.

The book that changed bedtime is back with a brand-new, updated edition featuring 22 new stories written by best-selling author – and original Rebel Girl – Elena Favilli.

This revised edition features 22 new stories about women and girls across 70+ professions and over 40 countries, including:

Each story in this collection is written in the signature Rebel Girls style of storytelling: a biographical, real-world fairy tale, where women are the heroes of their own stories.
