Ever After (1998)

For this episode, we're doing something a little different and discussing the heavily fictionalised past as represented through fairytales. Focusing on Ever After (1998), Abigail Fine and I talked about 90s Hollywood girl power, gender roles, and some of the nastier tropes these films use.

We mentioned:

A chapter by Christy Williams, called The Shoe Still Fits: Ever After and the Pursuit of a Feminist Cinderella

Marina Warner's work, specifically From The Beast To The Blonde

and some modern versions of Cinderella, including Megan Morrison's Disenchanted and Ash by Malinda Lo
