By exposing the role of fairy tales in the cultural struggle over gender, feminism transformed fairy-tale 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe eleven essays within \u003ci\u003eFairy Tales and Feminism\u003c\/i\u003e challenge and rethink conventional wisdom about the fairy-tale heroine and offer new insights into the tales produced by female writers and storytellers. Resisting a one-dimensional view of the woman-centered fairy tale, each essay reveals ambiguities in female-authored tales and the remarkable potential of classical tales to elicit unexpected responses from women. Exploring new texts and contexts, \u003ci\u003e Fairy Tales and Feminism\u003c\/i\u003e 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 Anglo-American contexts and also engage African, Indian Ocean, Iberian, Latin American, Indo-Anglian, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the Middle Ages to the postmodern age-from 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 fairy-tale studies. Framed by a critical survey of feminist fairy-tale scholarship and an extensive bibliography-the most comprehensive listing of women-centered fairy-tale research ever assembled-\u003ci\u003eFairy Tales and Feminism\u003c\/i\u003e is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of fairy tales and feminism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Donald Haase\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814330304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814330302\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wayne State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/18\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 6.02w x 0.59d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eUniv PR Books for Public Libry\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2005 pg. 46 - Recommended\/Special Interest\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2005 pg. 1018","brand":"Donald Haase","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947309400319,"sku":"9780814330302","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d5820c09-42b5-4844-97ca-32de73a3fc50.jpg?v=1681517955","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fairy-tales-and-feminism-donald-haase-9780814330302","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
