Episode 3: It's time to Write New Fairytales for the Modern Girl

And in fact, in a lot of the stories the young girls needed to be rescued from other women who were seen to be evil and jealous. Think Cinderella and her story with her wicked step mother and step sisters. The good Cinderella is seen as domesticated and tending to all her chores dutifully and without complaint. She is passive, dutiful and beautiful. The only way she will escape her destiny though is to step a little outside of these boundaries and be caught out after the clock through midnight. AND of course to be rescued from the horrid women in her life she needed to be rescued by a man who took her hand in marriage in this case in the form of a handsome prince.
