'''''Feminist Fairy Tales''''' is a 1996 anthology of revised and original fairy tales by feminist Barbara G. Walker.
[[Fairy Tales]] retellings are nothing new. Rewriting fairy tales to have a more female-friendly story is also nothing new since, sad to say, quite a few fairy tales are less than friendly towards women (case in point, there is an entire fairy tale genre about heroic wife-beating). So you would think that noted feminist Barbara Walker's 1996 anthology of revised and original fairy tales, rewritten to empower female readers--especially those reading in the children's section--would be something unremarkable.▼
