Feminist Fairy Tales is a 1996 anthology of revised and original fairy tales by feminist Barbara G. Walker.
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). The author sought to right the wrongs by rewriting famous and lesser-known fairy tales to empower female readers, especially those reading in the children's section.
Fairy Tales rewritten for the anthology:
- Snow White
- Beauty and the Beast
- Jack and the Beanstalk
- Aladdin
- Little Red Riding Hood
- The Little Mermaid
- Cinderella
- The Emperor's New Clothes
- Three Little Pigs
- Saint George and The Dragon
- The Frog Prince
