The Power of Fairy Tales
Fairy tales, as the oldest form of human storytelling, have always been closely linked to women. While originally considered stories for children, contemporary folklorists believe they were meant for mixed adult and child audiences. Fairy tales continue to endure because they entertain and teach important lessons. The enduring popularity of adaptations like Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast speaks to their timeless appeal and the messages they convey about women.
