Description

Fairy Tale Princesses Will Kill Your Children is a thought-provoking exploration of the myths that underpin women's poverty and men's violence. Jane Gilmore examines the history, context, and effect of fairy tale princesses, laying bare the enchantment that has been embedded in our culture for millennia. Through analysis and storytelling, Gilmore peels back the layers of these stories, exposing the dangers of the fairy tale princess myth. The reworked stories of Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, the Little Mermaid, and Beauty and the Beast shine a light into the darkness, revealing the harm that has been done by these myths. This book is not for children, but it is a worthwhile read for anyone who remembers being enchanted by fairy tales as a child.
