# Empowering Fairy Tales Rebel Girls 2 Features More Inspirational Female Figures By Riley von Niessen | Published 2017-06-21 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rebel-girls References: [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/timbuktu/kickstarter-gold-good-night-stories-for-rebel-girl) The first edition of 'Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls' was supported by 13,454 backers on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kickstarter-2025) from 75 different countries, due to its [reinvention of fairy tales](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fairy-tales-narrated-with-your-voice) which transformed often sexist narratives into inspirational stories for young girls that featured [powerful role models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/role-model-series). 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Diverse Female Role Models:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create content that showcases diverse and powerful female role models, empowering young girls and breaking gender stereotypes. - **Crowdfunding for Innovative Projects:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the potential of crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter to fund and launch creative and inspiring projects with a global appeal. - **Reinventing Traditional Narratives:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Transform commonly told narratives into empowering stories that challenge societal norms and provide positive role models for young audiences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Children's Publishing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Innovate in the children's publishing industry by creating content that promotes diversity, empowerment, and equality. - **Art and Illustration:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with female artists and illustrators to create visually appealing and inclusive content for various mediums, including books and digital platforms. - **Education and Learning:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop educational programs and resources that use storytelling to inspire and empower young learners, promoting diverse role models and narratives. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Two-Sided Paper Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/megadolls.md) - [Resilience-Focused Children's Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/savvy-suzanna.md) - [Kid's AI Storytelling Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fairy-tales-world-kid-stories.md) - [Personalized Bedtime Stories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/storygenius.md) - [Sleep Support Fairy Tales](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sleepless-beauty.md) - [AI-Generated Bedtime Stories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bedtimefable-ai.md) - [Notable Females Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/women-that-changed-the-world.md) - [Personalized Story Creators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinkertell.md) - [Reimagined Building-Block Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/she-built-that.md)
