Feminist Fairy Tales: Difference between revisions

It is arguable whether she succeeded, as described on [[Feminist Fairy Tales/YMMV|the YMMV page]]. Very often Walker missed the point of the original tale or was only familiarizedfamiliar with the [[Flanderized]], [[Disneyfication|Disneyfied]] version of the story, which resulted in stories that read like a [[Shallow Parody]] of the original with a feminist slant. Also, there are heavy [[Values Dissonance]] between Walker's feministsfeminist principles <ref>which seemsseem rooted on First and Second wave feminism, where great value was put on the things that made women "special" like reproductive capacity and "feminine" values being taken as seriously as "male" ones"</ref> and the ones onin vogue onin the current{{when}} state of the movement<ref> which place greater emphasis in equality, women's independence, female solidarity, and choice over reproductive rights</ref>, resulting in stories that could read superficially as "empowering" but toon close examination are anything but.
