In the 1970s, feminists focused critical attention on fairy tales and broke the spell that had enchanted readers for centuries. By exposing the role of fairy tales in the cultural struggle over gender, feminism transformed fairytale studies and sparked a debate that would change the way society thinks about fairy tales and the words 'happily ever after.' Now, after three decades of provocative criticism and controversy, this book reevaluates the feminist critique of fairy tales.The eleven essays within Fairy Tales and Feminism challenge and rethink conventional wisdom about the fairytale heroine and offer new insights into the tales produced by female writers and storytellers. Resisting a onedimensional view of the womancentered fairy tale, each essay reveals ambiguities in femaleauthored tales and the remarkable potential of classical tales to elicit unexpected responses from women. Exploring new texts and contexts, Fairy Tales and Feminism reaches out beyond the national and cultural boundaries that have limited our understanding of the fairy tale. The authors reconsider the fairy tale in French, German, and AngloAmerican contexts and also engage African, Indian Ocean, Iberian, Latin American, IndoAnglian, and South Asian diasporic texts. Also considered within this volume is how film, television, advertising, and the Internet test the fairy tale's boundaries and its traditional authority in defining gender.From the Middle Ages to the postmodern agefrom the French fabliau to Hollywood's Ever After and television's Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire?the essays assembled here cover a broad range of topics that map new territory for fairytale studies. Framed by a critical survey of feminist fairytale scholarship and an extensive bibliographythe most comprehensive listing of womencentered fairytale research ever assembledFairy Tales and Feminism is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of fairy tales and feminism.
