This is a great anthology of fairytales with a feminist slant. If you are interested in challenging traditional values, and you want to instill this in your daughters, take a look at this.

    While the essays on feminist literary criticism are interesting, the real fun is in the 16 short stories and poetry (mostly stories). Some big names here, like Margaret Atwood, Tanith Lee (but why 2?), Anne Sexton, Jane Yolen, Joanna Russ...

    This is one of my all time favorite books ever. I love it. It is a wonderfully delightful assortment of fairy tales for a modern age.

    The necessary antidote to Barbies and Disney for any little girl or her mother. You may want to try reading this in tandem with Women Who Run with the Wolves.
