Official synopsis Publisher
This is not a book for children, but it is a book for everyone who was a child once upon a time.
Jane Gilmore, author of Fixed It and Teaching Consent, takes aim at fairy tale princesses and hits right at the heart of the myths that underpin women’s poverty and men’s violence.
Though a piecing combination of analysis and storytelling, Jane Gilmore peels back the layers of enchantment and exposes the ugly truth behind the fairy tales that have been embedded in our culture over millennia of telling and retelling.
After laying bare the history, context, and effect of fairy tale princesses, the reworked stories of Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, the Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast shine a light into the darkness and show us the dangers of the fairy tale princess myth.
