I am going to do a review of this book Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls – 100 Tales of Extraordinary Women that I have helped and contributed as a backer for Kickstarter back few years ago.
Why supporting this book? Because of a couple of reasons that I think attracts my attention to give it a shot and help others to crowdfund their dream comes true.
Girls, female, women, mums, wifes, daughters, aunties, grandmothers and whoever “female” should be respected and given good amount of love and care.
Nowadays women status is different then before, even different from 10 or 20 years ago. In human history, women have fight very tough for their rights and equality, these really amazes me and makes me to respect them even more.
I don’t know if this kind of book with the theme of women has been published before as I am not an historian nor a bookworm, but from a designer point of view, this book not only shows and teaches us who’s who in the female world, but also invites female artists, designers and illustrators from all over the world to interpret and to draw creatively the portrait of each of the extraordinary women in world history.
The book measures 185 x 249 x 24mm 790g (ipad pro {2018 version} weights 677g) with 224 pages. The cover is hard with matte finish.
Empowering, moving and inspirational, these are true fairy tales for heroines who definitely don’t need rescuing.
Book Depository
I have snapped some of the pages that I feel interest to show you. They are just my personal preference, I chose them not because they are more important or famous or contributed something to the world, just my personal taste in terms of visual aesthetics (style, technique, use of color, composition, artist’s expressiveness, etc) as I am a designer.
I am sorry that I needed to use a remote control from my apple tv to give some weights to the pages as the book is still new and I don’t want to force open it.
Finally, who know if the little readers will become one of the extraordinary women in the future?
If you buy the book from my links @bookdepository, I can receive a little commission that helps me to buy more books to review.
