Book Friend

Ragan, Kathleen. (1998). Fearless Girls, Wise Women & Beloved Sisters: Heroines in Folktales from around the World. New York: W.W. Norton & Company.

Melanie just finished reading this and it is on my reading list for the Winter. It has taken me many years to recognize the drivel that Girls and Women in Western Culture are fed through Stories in our Patriarchal Society. Those continual messages in our formative years influence our growing and becoming, and the expectations of others in our Culture around us. I am hungry for that which is served on a different plate.
