Hooligans, Rebels, and Rabble-Rousers, written by Paula Kerman, features biographies of 20 courageous and strong women who have made history. Women featured in this book include Malala Yousafzai, Emmeline Pankhurst, Frida Kahlo, Simone Biles and Rosa Parks.
This brilliant book is a must-have for all homes and schools. I would recommend this book for children and teenagers, aged 9-18.

Inspiring, short biographical stories for girls (and boys) about twenty different “hooligans, rebels and rabble-rousers” who bravely spoke and acted against injustice, each in their own unique way. These true stories highlight how childhood experiences (including bullets, abandonment, serious illness) shaped these extraordinary individuals, while showcasing their resilience. I loved the addition of the mixed media portrait of each inspirational female, with the addition of some prompting questions to encourage further discussion and exploration.

This would be a wonderful addition to any library or family bookshelf. I know several pre-teens and young women who would love this as a thoughtful, inspiring gift.
