Teaching Gender through Fairytale Adaptions. Using the Brothers Grimm and Disney in the Classroom

Meer over het boek

The paper explores the evolution of princess narratives in fairy tales and their Disney adaptations, questioning whether traditional notions of "happily ever after" still apply. It argues that comparing these stories provides valuable insights into gender representation. By analyzing the differences between classic fairy tales and modern interpretations, the work aims to enhance understanding of storytelling's role in teaching gender concepts, particularly in the context of English as a foreign language.
