| Publisher Description: There is a commonly held belief that fairy tales are dominated by stories in which girls are always saved by boys and princes. In truth there are many stories and fairy tales in which girls and princesses save their brothers and families. They are responsible for their own success in life. They are smart and courageous. Princes would fail to win their quests without the princesses who help them. The girls in these stories venture out for themselves and their families. They are brave and truthful. They avert disaster and overcome overwhelming obstacles ranging from wicked enchantments to ignorance, prejudice, jealousy and evil intent. It is through their trustworthiness and love that their families and communities succeed. This book presents just a few of the stories in which girls are heroines. |
