520 $aTraditional fairytales are full of cliche and gender stereotypes beautiful, silent princesses; ugly, jealous, and bitter villainesses; girls who need rescuing; and men who take the glory. But in Nikita Gill's new prose and poetry collection, Fierce Fairytales, she rewrites the fairytale classics and reworks their old-fashioned tropes into empowering and inspirational stories. Meet the grief- stricken Ursula, the troubled Wendy Darling, the wolf in the concrete jungle, and the courageous Gretel who can bring down monsters on her own....
