I wanted to read something different for this category so Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls seemed perfect. This nonfiction book blends the stories of historical and contemporary women, heroines who took a stand, changed the world, said no and inspired nations. The book contains stories of 100 women, some more famous or infamous than others. Each story is only a few minutes long so I was able to breeze through the audiobook. This women covered in this book include Amelia Earhart, Virginia Woolf, Malala Yousafzai and Joni Jett. I loved listening to this book. It's completely original. There is a second book that I plan to read as well. And a podcast. And a journal you can buy.
