Woke Cinderella: twenty-first-century adaptations

Type Book

Rate 0.0 /5

This book examines contemporary ""Cinderella"" fairy tale adaptations to argue that the traditionally passive princess has been updated for the 21st century. Using wokeness as a theoretical lens, it analyzes the ""Cinderella"" story's potentiality as a social gauge for how we construe gender, sex, agency, and power.
