Abstract |
Diana Coles's The Clever Princess is a feminist fantasy which sheds light on the stereotyped gender roles found in almost all fairy tales. The most important object of the story is to create a new typ...e of heroine completely different from the traditional kind who, like Cinderella and Snow White, merely waits for a man/prince to help them escape from the circumstance they are in.

I also discuss its raison d'6tre and problems in addition.show more
