On the pages on the left, there are photographs of girls playing with dolls, dancing or jumping rope, and boys playing soccer, playing with carts or simulating war. In contrast, the staged ideas received are supported by a provocative sentence written in capital letters on a bright flap: "The boys do not play at the dinner" or "Girls is not handyman". These affirmations are fortunately contradicted by the uprising of large flaps which reveal new photographs respectively staging, in the cases cited above, a man feeding his child and a woman working in the construction.

Summary: What if Beauty stood up to the Beast, the Princess never tried to sleep on the pea (and wouldn't have noticed it if she had), and the Swan Maiden took her revenge on the hunter who kidnapped her? The Adventurous Princess and other feminist fairy tales is a retelling of nine traditional fairy tales with a feminist twist. Fairy tales open up new worlds full of enchantment and adventure, but many of these traditional stories also reinforce rigid gender roles and norms, perpetuate stereotypes, and lack diversity in their characters. In The Adventurous Princess, the charm, whimsy, and magic of traditional fairy tales remain, but the diverse characters challenge stereotypes about who they should be or how they should act, stand up for themselves, and shape their own futures.
