Review: The Rebel Girls Handbook - Rebel Girls - October 2022 Another installment in the amazing series is the Rebel Girls, this is the series that I wish had been around when I was a child. I would have had stronger role models and ended up on a different path in life had it been for books like this.  Instead, when I was younger it wasn't a thing and I was the type of girl who ended up with a bedroom wall covered in posters of musicians and celebrities. It's only now in my thirties that I look back and imagine how my life could have been different if I had role models that were inspirational females. We always heard that females could do anything, but it wasn't pushed or shown as much as it is these days with #bossbabes and #girlbosses and Rebel Girls. The Rebel Girls Handbook Features Rebel Girls from all over the world from every country imaginable in New Zealand we have Nancy Wake and Helen Clark and Dr. Siouxsie Wiles. The book includes over 300+ profiles of famous ...

We are also coming into a new generation where women of color who were often shunned or placed in the background are also being acknowledged along with their white female counterparts which I love as that is the way it should be, it should never be about the color of their skin but what they have achieved. Black Girl Magic is laid out in the same format as the other books in this series where each tale is given a double spread of one page per story and a full-color pi...
