Join Our Rebel Girls Project

Our Mission

The project has now released two books — in English and Dutch. The German edition will follow in October. While the core content remains the same, we adapt and customize each edition for the local country and culture. We welcome cooperation from women all over the world to create special national editions, just like the English, Dutch, and upcoming German versions. For example:

Chicas Rebeldas (Spanish), 叛逆女孩 (Mandarin), الفتيات المتمردات (Arabic).

Our Books

Rebel Girls: The English Edition

You can read many new stories in the English collection 'Rebel Girls, Uplifting stories about courageous young women' (2026, Spinifex, 400 pages). Listen to angry Afghan girls attending an illegal English class, who fear that the world has forgotten them.

Listen to Chinese and Taiwanese young women explaining hardcore misogyny in Confucian-dominated societies. Learn how you can protect the girls in your life from negative online influences, body shaming and humiliating porn.

In German: Null Bock auf Frausein. Ein XX-Weckruf.

In October Diametric Verlag will publish the German edition, which is similar, but especially adapted to a German audience. It includes an overview of the German situation by Eva Engelken, chairwoman of Frauenheldinnen (women heroes), a very inspiring feminist organisation.

Of course we interviewed the famous Rona Duwe, a woman so fierce that many intolerant German leftists would like nothing better than to see her locked up. (@Ronalyze on X). The youngest German contributor is the brave Yezidi lesbian Azadiya, who wrote the book 'Um Mein Leben' ('For My Life') about 'honour killings' and her escape from a dangerous home.

Gender Rebels: The Original Dutch Version

'Essential reading' – Dr Helen Joyce, bestselling author of Trans: When Ideology Meets Reality.

Why are so many girls unhappy or even suffering? As older feminists we were worried to see a decline in female freedom and fun. We decided to research what is bothering our girls. How much freedom does this generation of girls even have?

The Rebel Girl books and this website consist of critical stories, articles and interviews about the taboos of our time. From online madness and self-diagnosis on social media, to confusion about biology and the oppression of women in society and Islam.
