Beschreibung

Poet, writer, and Instagram sensation Nikita Gill returns with a collection of fairytales poetically retold for a new generation of women.

Traditional fairytales are rife with cliches and gender stereotypes: beautiful, silent princesses; ugly, jealous, and bitter villainesses; girls who need rescuing; and men who take all the glory.

But in this rousing new prose and poetry collection, Nikita Gill gives Once Upon a Time a much-needed modern makeover. Through her gorgeous reimagining of fairytale classics and spellbinding original tales, she dismantles the old-fashioned tropes that have been ingrained in our minds. In this book, gone are the docile women and male saviors. Instead, lines blur between heroes and villains. You will meet fearless princesses, a new kind of wolf lurking in the concrete jungle, and an independent Gretel who can bring down monsters on her own.

Complete with beautifully hand-drawn illustrations by Gill herself, Fierce Fairytales is an empowering collection of poems and stories for a new generation.

Not what I expected but cute nonetheless

It had some really good poems and short stories that I highly enjoyed reading but overall it just wasn’t what I expected and wanted from feministic fairytales

Wunderschöne, feministische Poesie die man einfach mitfühlt.

A few very pretty powerful poems! Some felt a bit too depressing and almost like all men in the world are horrible, but a lot were empowering and full of fairytale metaphors ♡ For who seek more female empowering words!
