Cuentos de buenas noches para niñas rebeldes

This book offers one hundred short biographies of women who made history, designed as bedtime stories for children. Each begins with a fairy-tale opening, once upon a time, and in a page tells the life of a woman such as Marie Curie, Frida Kahlo, Ada Lovelace, Serena Williams or Malala Yousafzai, with an illustration of her by a female artist from around the world. There are scientists, pirates, athletes, chefs and rulers, and some lesser-known names, so that children meet people they might not find in school books.

It is for parents and children who want short, confidence-building stories to read before sleep. The book gives children a wide range of examples of what women have done, and invites them to imagine their own paths.

Practical and clear-cut; an easy read.

Best for readers like The Practical Optimizer. Which reader are you?
