In these portrayals, the princess is a passive, compliant figure. By contrast, \u003ci\u003eThe Lost Princess\u003c\/i\u003e shows that classic fairy tales such as \"Cinderella,\" \"Rapunzel,\" and \"Beauty and the Beast\" have a much richer, more complex history than Disney's saccharine depictions. Anne E. Duggan recovers the voices of women writers such as Marie-Catherine d'Aulnoy, Marie-Jeanne L'H駻itier, and Charlotte-Rose de La Force, who penned popular tales about ogre-killing, pregnant, cross-dressing, dynamic heroines who saved the day. This new history will appeal to anyone who wants to know more about the lost, plucky heroines of historic fairy tales.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anne E.
