What is this all about?

I am taking a class in Folk and Fairy Tales in my final semester at CUNY- SPS. This is my final elective and I am super excited to be studying the things that we will be reading this semester. The blog is going to be based on the question:

"What image of womanhood is represented in this piece and how does that image uphold or subvert expectations regarding the female gender?"

My hope and expectation is to have a better understanding of the misinterpreted "princess" stories we hear growing up and live by. Enjoy : )
