Available for over a year

To most people a ‘fairy-tale’ will suggest the 200-year old works created by Hans Christian Andersen or the Brothers Grimm, or more recently, the magical world of Disney. How many of these popular tales have a named woman character with a success story that doesn’t relate to a man? How many were created by women? Jenni is joined by the authors Kiran Millwood Hargrave and Jessie Burton to talk about why they are choosing to re-write fairy-tales and create a new folklore to address the lack of feminism in traditional stories.
