Jewish Women who rock. Stories that inspire. Illustrations that pop.
If you loved the bestselling Goodnight stories for Rebel Girls series, you will love Goodnight Golda!
Here are 32 Jewish women who have shaped Jewish history and the Jewish mindset. Some use their wits, other their looks, some their talent, others their perspective. They are the trailblazers, achievers, visionaries and preservers of faith that have shaped our reality, and on whose shoulders we, as young (and not so young) 21st Century Jewish (and other) women, stand.
The women featured range from biblical (Yael and Ester) and history-makers (Anne Frank and Hannah Senesh) to contemporary voices (like Sivan Yaári and Donna Karan) and visionary/activists (like Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sarah Schenirer), and hail from across the world - from Portugal to USA, UK to Poland, Israel to South Africa, Ethiopia to Canada.
Each heroine has a short biography and entertaining story on how they changed their world and ours. Each heroine has her own gorgeous illustration – contemporary, vivid and fun. This is a book for the future heroines of the Jewish people, and beyond.

"Much like "The Boy In the Striped Pajamas" or "The Book Thief,""
this remarkable memoir from Leon Leyson, one of the youngest
children to survive the Holocaust on Oskar Schindler's list,
"brings to readers a story of bravery and the fight for a chance to
live" ("VOYA").
This, the only memoir published by a former Schindler's list child,
perfectly captures the innocence of a small boy who goes through
the unthinkable. Leon Leyson (born Leib Lezjon) was only ten years
old when the Nazis invaded Poland and his family was forced to
relocate to the Krakow ghetto. With incredible luck, perseverance,
and grit, Leyson was able to survive the sadism of the Nazis,
including that of the demonic Amon Goeth, commandant of Plaszow,
the concentration camp outside Krakow.
Ultimately, it was the generosity and cunning of one man, Oskar
Schindler, who saved Leon Leyson's life, and the lives of his
mother, his father, and two of his four siblings, by adding their
names to his list of workers in his factory--a list that became
world renowned: Schindler's list.
Told with an abundance of dignity and a remarkable lack of rancor
and venom, "The Boy on the Wooden Box" is a legacy of hope, a
memoir unlike anything you've ever read.
