My topic for the research essay was feminism and fairy tales. I chose to examine Snow-White and her step mothers relationship because I felt like I could relate to it, it’d be easier to put emotions into words if I related to them. I also feel like fairy tales are all about how women are saved, their beauty and its the same story told all over again. As a kid I always wanted to be a princess but as an adult I begin to question why women are always portrayed in such misogynistic ways. I have read multiple articles, books and re-read fairy tales because each are told differently. Each version of these fairy tales are told differently but have the same story.

Your research topic on feminism and fairy tales, specifically examining the relationship between Snow White and her stepmother ,sounds fascinating . It’s great that you choose a topic that you can personally relate to, as it can make it easier to express your emotions and thoughts on the subject .Your observation about fairy tales often depicting women as being saved and focusing on their beauty is a valid point. Fairy tales have traditionally reinforced stereotypical gender roles and portrayed women in passive and dependent positions.
