This is a collection of fairy tales from around the world. These women are not forlorn weak females waiting for the white knight to ride to their rescue. These women rescue themselves and do a good job at it!
The Feminist Press at CUNY and Edelweiss allowed me to read this book for review (thank you). It will be published October 10th.
I enjoyed reading this because these women were nothing special, they just didn't give up. If someone wronged them or they ran into a demon or a wizard, they didn't back down. They figured out how to get around them or defeat them.
Some of them sounded familiar but most of them were new tales to me. I sell and read a lot of fairy tales so it was unusual to find new ones. I enjoyed them all. Give the book a read and tell me what you thought of it.
