This anthology of feminist fairy tales and critical essays shows how the literature of fantasy and imagination can be harnessed to create a new view of the world. It demonstrates the ways in which recent writers have changed the aesthetic constructs and social content of fairy tales.
Jack Zipes has put together the first comprehensive anthology of feminist fairy tales and essays to appear since the women''s movement gained momentum in the 1960''s. He has selected works by such gifted writers as Angela Carter, Margaret Atwood, Tanith Lee, Jay Williams, Jane Yolen, Anne Sexton, Olga Broumas and Joanna Russ-all of whom, whether they consider themselves feminists or not, have written innovative stories which seek to break the classical tradition of fairy tales. The accompanying critical essays, by Marcia Lieberman, Sandra Gilbert, Susan Gubar and Karen Rowe, discuss how fairy tales play an important role in early socialization, influencing the manner in which children perceive the world and their place in it even before they begin to read.
