This is the first episode in a series on fairy tales and Disney Princesses. This week I’m talking about everyone’s favourite unpaid housekeeper, Snow White. I discuss the history of the Walt Disney Company, Snow White’s positive attitude, and why the Evil Queen might not be as evil as you think. This whole episode is basically a feminist rant, so buckle up, kids!
As always, a full transcription of this episode is linked <a href="https://www.angourieslibrary.com/blog/2020/08/09/snow-white-grimm-beginnings" target="_blank">here</a> on my website, as well as a list of resources I used in my research.
This month’s book club pick is <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33958230-forest-of-a-thousand-lanterns">Forest of a Thousand Lanterns</a> by Julie C. Dao! It’s an East Asian fantasy reimagining of Snow White, and I’ll be discussing it on Monday the 31st of August.
