Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls, Volume 1: 100 Tales of Extraordinary Women by Elena Favilli, Francesca Cavallo
2.0
this concept of this book is great, but the execution was not. the language was overly repetitive and simplistic
a lot of the inspirational women were great and i was glad to hear of them.
but some of these women highlighted as “role models” were horrific people, making this book feel like a bunch of “girlboss feminism” strung together for children. margaret thatcher is not a role model for anyone, let alone children. she starved so many children by cutting projects like free school meals, and ruined the lives of so many people. hilary clinton is not a role model either.
and pardon my language, but why the f*** was coco chanel (a literal nazi agent) highlighted as a role model?? if you want to show children that you can be a successful designer, there are so many designers to chose from as examples that were not nazis and nazi supporters.
