300 extraordinary women

This book is a bit different from the other books, still very nice though!

It first covers maps with parts of the world, continents or countries and highlights the specifics of that region and mentions the woman who stood out living in those regions/countries. The maps show arrows to the various woman of which you see tiny drawings.

This is being followed up by a section which is called Rebel girls throughout history, which is very nice as there is a nice timeline, highlighting important world facts, like when the pyramids were built, and you will see some names of woman who were part of this world history. The first section makes some big steps the later pages a lot of smaller steps, meaning more names of woman and information.

The next section is made up of pages full of rebel girls and woman with their characteristics and facts, fears and dreams. In this way there are a lot of women covered. These pages are made up of a lovely drawing and the various facts of the rebel woman, highlighting their superpowers. The women are listed alphabetically on their first name like always in the Rebel books.

Some of the rebels or special woman featured in the book are Agatha Christie, Aretha Franklin, Astrid Lindgren, Audrey Hepburn, Beatrix Potter, Diane von Fürstenberg, Florence Nightingale, Frida Kahlo, Golda Meir, Iman, Isabel Allende, Jane Austen, Jane Goodall, Kamala Harris, Madeleine Albright, Malala Yousafzai, Margaret Atwood, Nina Simone en Oprah Winfrey.

If I have to mention a small drawback is that this book is actually a collection of about 300 women who have already been featured in the Good Night Stories books, now they are only portrayed with only a few of their characteristics and their bios, the illustration, although beautiful, is a small version of the normally full-page illustration in the aforementioned books. So I don't think this book is an addition to the Good Night stories, it is rather a nice reference book with well-known, and less well-known, women through the ages.
