Happily Ever After? #4: Sexist Fairy Tales

Happily Ever After? -- the show where we revisit the fairy tales we fell in love with once upon a time. We've been speaking to scholars about the history and meaning of fairy tales, and what we've heard has been pretty positive. But if you're a child or a parent, would you read these stories from a different perspective? We speak to a mum about the impact of princess culture and how fairy tales have shaped her daughter's perception of gender roles.
