GOOD NIGHT STORIES FOR REBEL GIRLS: 100 Immigrant Women Who Changed the World shares the stories of women who left their birth countries for a multitude of reasons: some for new opportunities, some out of necessity, such as singers Rihanna and Gloria Estefan, politicians Madeleine Albright and Ilhan Omar, chef Asma Khan, and actress Lupita Nyong’o.

This title is the third in the Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls series, which was the most successful publishing crowdfunding campaign in history. The print editions of the first two print books are New York Times bestsellers, with more than 5.5 million copies sold worldwide.

Listeners can also hear expanded stories on the Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls podcast, which returns with selected stories drawn from their new book, Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls: 100 Immigrant Women Who Changed the World. Each episode is paired with additional dynamic interview content in which episode narrators provide inspirational insights that help every girl learn about bravery, confidence, and how to go further in pursuit of their dreams. On the podcast, young listeners will discover the stories of real life superheroes like Noor Inayat Kahn, Carmen Miranda, Arianna Huffington, and Hazel Scott with help from a cast of equally extraordinary women narrators like actress Freida Pinto, filmmaker Brenda Chapman, singer and actor Andra Day, and entrepreneur Laurene Powell Jobs.
