Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls

I stumbled upon Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls: 100 Stories of Extraordinary Women by Elena Favili at my local library and fell in love with it. Each "story" is a mini-biography of a different woman written in the style of a classic fairy tale - openers range from "once upon a time" to "a long time ago." Each story is written simply enough for a child to understand, yet simultaneously not dumbed down so as to be tedious for an adult reader and is accompanied by a picture of the subject, as well as an inspirational quote. This book is at the absolute top of my Christmas list for my daughter.
