something that i didn't have when i was a child so i was always an avid reader and when i when i thought back about where my favorite books i realized that all of them had made going to and i thought well let's go and see if the situation has changed since the eighty's when i was a kids and when when ed and i went to look at these stats we realize that still today only 37 percent of children's books have a theme of speaking character and if you look at history books it looks like the world was made by men so we wanted to kind of fix that and to show girls that they can be anything they want and that the are surrounded by women were making an impact a lot of them who were in the background and also coming to the foreground 100 bite sized biographies in these books and it's an incredibly diverse collection you know

with her from frida kahlo to serena williams to the bronte sisters and to the pakistani activist malala but also a lot of girls and women who are not very well known how. did you or how did you hunt down these stories well we followed different criteria we wanted the book to be as they versus possible in terms of race in terms of age because we wanted every rebel girl in the world and every woman to find a little piece of ourselves in this book and we wanted to feature women from all different all sorts of career paths because we wanted to show girls that they could be anything they want so we intersected these criteria and we came up with these selections and the final crazier was that we didn't want to create an encyclopedia we wanted this to be actually as the title says a book of good nice stories exactly so we selected the stories that have it that

had a very strong you know. favorite component and every one of them starts with once upon a time so there are kind of alternative fairy tales but very much about real women yes. some of them are not uncontroversial at times you chose people for instance like margaret thatcher how tricky was it to to craft those stories for a young public you know it was treat and personally i am i disagree with the politics of margaret thatcher but we didn't want this to be a book about the liberal women we wanted this to be a book of women who followed their. beliefs despite living in a world that was designed for men and there is no doubt that whether you agree with her or not margaret thatcher did that so. she didn't need to be like those who are absolutely not just tell us what you learnt about the importance of female role

models for girls today. i met one little girl in london who told me that they were having career day at school and she said she wanted to be a surgeon and one of her classmates told her you can't be a surgeon because girls cannot become surgeons and she didn't take offense in that she just shrugged and she said you didn't read the rebel girls book so that is you know i think it it's speaks very well to the importance of being growing up surrounded by a babe or set the vina role models yes well it's i learnt so much reading this book i can imagine that it's not just the little girls who are reading this book but actually adult women as well and i know you've received tons and tons of mail take home message obviously to not be afraid and stick to your beliefs yeah and as the 2nd book says in the u.k. sion don't step back and everyone will move forward thank you very much good night stories for rebel girls volumes one and 2 to empower all the girls and women in our
