„Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls“ besticht durch seine herrlichen Illustrationen, inhaltlich fehlt allerdings die Tiefe.

Zugegeben meine Eltern haben uns früher keine Gute-Nacht-Geschichten vorgelesen. Dafür haben mein Opa und meine Tante uns oft Geschichten vorgelesen. Meine Tante hat sogar mal eine eigene Geschichte für uns geschrieben. In „Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls“ geht es auch um Gute-Nacht-Geschichten, allerdings um solche der besonderen Art. Worum geht’s? Das Buch enthält kurze Essays zu 100 bedeutsamen Frauen. Die dargestellten Persönlichkeiten stammen aus diversen Bereichen und Epochen. Kombiniert sind die Texte mit einer einseitigen Illustration wechselnder Illustratorinnen. Meinung: Die kurzen Texte sind eine tolle Möglichkeit einen Überblick über all das zu bekommen, was Frauen früher und heute schon erreicht haben und, was alles möglich ist, wenn man dafür kämpft. Die Illustrationen sind wunderschön und machen „Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls“ zu einem echten Kunstwerk. Leider sind die Texte zu kurz, um den dargestellten Frauen wirklich gerecht zu werden. Auch vergisst man auf diese Weise relativ schnell, was man gelesen hat. Fazit: „Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls“ besticht durch seine herrlichen Illustrationen, inhaltlich fehlt allerdings die Tiefe.

I heard a lot of really good things about this book and was very excited to read it. I guess it is tailored more toward smaller children, because the stories themselves are really simple and sometimes a bit too narrow for my taste. However, it is a really great twist to the classical fairytale and introduces 100 really exciting female biographies, of which the majority was unknown to me. I thus found this book very eye-opening and enriching, even though I would have liked to know even more about the women and their stories.

Though, I'm not sure how I feel about the book leaving out that some of these courageous women were killed for their actions. But I don't know a first thing about childen, & about if they should be familiarized with the concept of death at such an early age.
