The Lost Princess: Women Writers and the History of Classic Fairy Tales | 
pickA nonfiction account of the 17th Century French women writers that coined the very term “fairy tale,” overshadowed by male counterpart Perrault and later the Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen, and Disney, this book doesn‘t actually dwell on the biographies of Madame d‘Aulnoy, Marie-Jeanne L‘Héritier, and Charlotte-Rose de La Force, but rather explores the long term cultural, literary, and feminist legacies of their classic “contes de fées.”
