Fairy Tales and Gender

Fairy Tales and Gender Book Description Back Cover Text (From the Promotional Bulletin) You don't swim in the same river with crocodiles, you don't dive into a wild forest unarmed, you run away even if a lion roars from the opposite mountain. But lying in a green field and looking at the sky is comfortable; If there is a poison slowly injected from the grass, you are defenseless. Maybe you will fall asleep soundly with fairy tales. Then one day you ask: Why doesn't kissing a dead Snow White terrify us? How does just a simple kiss get the apple off your throat? Or is it an implied shakeup? What is the meaning of Hansel and Gretel's being thrown into the forest by their families as a solution to poverty and their adventures that continue with home invasion, cannibalism, murder and theft? What do the glass coffins, glass shoes and fairy girls having to get married when their swan wings are stolen mean? Poisoning only from the red side of the apple, Karin whose feet were cut off because she loved red shoes, Little Red Riding Hood... What is red a symbol of? How do the codes used in fairy tales affect us in our adult lives? In this fairy tale analysis book, you will be surprised by the things you always knew. Cover Design: Devrim Koçlan
