Woke Cinderella: Twenty-First-Century Adaptations - Paperback

by Suzy Woltmann (Editor), Camille S. Alexander (Contribution by), Rachel L. Carazo (Contribution by)

This book examines contemporary "Cinderella" fairy tale adaptations to argue that the traditionally passive princess has been updated for the 21st century. Using wokeness as a theoretical lens, it analyzes the "Cinderella" story's potentiality as a social gauge for how we construe gender, sex, agency, and power.
