If you want a few English-speaking reference works, about the feminist reading/interpretation/reception of fairytales, I found three works in a bibliography for an article I read.

One is a reflection of the 80s feminism when it comes to fairy tales: Kiss Sleeping Beauty Good-bye. Breaking the spell of feminine myths and models, by Madonna Kolbenschlag (1988).

A work which you can compare and contrast with a much more recent one, reflecting feminist views from the dawn of the 21st century: 2004's Fairy Tales and Feminism, new approaches, a collective work.

And finally another work from the 80s, that does contain some feminist articles (such as Kay F. Stone's "Feminist approaches to the interpretation of fairy tales"), but isn't all about feminism: Ruth B. Bottigheimer's 1986 Fairy tales and society: illusion, allusion, and paradigm.

WAIT WAIT WAIT

YOU'RE TELLING ME

THE TITLE CARD FROM CINDERELLA (1950) EXPLICITLY SAYS IT'S BASED ON THE PERRAULT VERSION OF THE STORY???

WE COULD HAVE AVOIDED ALL THE SANCTIMONIOUS EDGELORDS SMARMING ABOUT HOW "well Disney toned it down; the One True Grimms' Original akschully has blood and no fairy and feet getting cut up, so there" IF THEY HAD JUST

BOTHERED TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE MOVIE AND THEN GOOGLE "PERRAULT CINDERELLA???"

excuse me I need to go scream into a pillow

(I'm not saying Ashenputtel isn't possibly older as a folktale than its 1812 publication date in the Grimms' book, but Perrault's version was published in the 1690s. so...)

#fairytales #folktales #cinderella #disney #charles perrault #the brothers grimm #and if you're obsessed with originality. the earliest recorded version of the story is like a paragraph long and completely bloodless #'there was a lovely courtesan. an eagle carried one of her sandals to Pharaoh. he used it to find her and married her. The End."#(Rhodopis if you want to look it up)
