Well, Santa/the Chanukah fairy delivered! The book was published last October and its full title is Rejected Princesses: Tales of History’s Boldest Heroines, Hellions, and Heretics. You might recall from my Holiday Wishlist post that this book was the first thing I asked for. This is a book for anyone who ever underestimated a girl.”
You come from a long line of bold, strong, fearless women.
As stated in the book’s introduction, “This is a book for any girl who ever felt she didn’t fit in. The idea is to tell the stories of some of the most obscure but impressive women from history and legend. Porath deliberately chooses his examples from a diverse array of cultural backgrounds, from Norwegian fairy tales, to Brazilian myth, to Algerian royalty. One hundred of those entries have now been printed in physical book form, and it’s definitely worth getting, even if you have already seen the blog. If you are a feminist on the internet, there is a good chance you have already stumbled across Jason Porath’s website, Rejected Princesses, in which he pairs gorgeous illustrations with short descriptions including legends, history, and fun facts about women who don’t fit the classic princess archetype.
