The first edition of 'Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls' was supported by 13,454 backers on Kickstarter from 75 different countries, due to its reinvention of fairy tales which transformed often sexist narratives into inspirational stories for young girls that featured powerful role models.
Recently, Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls 2 was launched on Kickstarter, and it's nearly doubled its funding goal of $100,000 almost a month ahead of schedule. Like the first instalment, Rebel Girls 2 will focus on historical figures from all over the world, and feature illustrations from female artists to go along with their narratives.
By spotlighting a diverse range of female champions, Rebel Girls 2 shows young girls that they have the power to achieve their dreams and be the hero of their own narratives.
