Originally posted on my blog Nonstop Reader.

Dear Rebel is a collection of letters, wisdom, and wishes from women to youngsters about life lessons and about finding their way authentically. Released 3rd Oct 2023 by Rebel Girls, it's 420 pages and is available in paperback and ebook formats. It's aimed at young people roughly 8-12 years old (Lexile 920L).

This is a beautifully illustrated collection full of advice and recollections from women from a broad number of backgrounds and areas of expertise including academics, political activists, athletes, artists, actors, writers, and more. The writers are from a wide variety of world cultures.

Representation is so important. It's nice to read about these inspiring women, and the wisdom they have to share. Worthwhile. This would make a superlative selection for home use, library acquisition, gifting, or school/classroom library. 

Five stars.
