A bit overly cutesy/cliche but still funny and occasionally inciteful

I think I last read this in 1992 - when doing my student teaching. It's a fairly good book for teaching high schoolers about some aspects of literature, but not my favorite book.

Wow. Just wow. Peggy Orenstein, you read my mind. And you are my hero. People, read this book! As a mother, I have to confess I have a major beef with the whole Disney Princess marketing mumbo-jumbo, and I've worried for a long time about what kind of mixed messages the "princess" movies and fairy tales are sending our girls. Not only that, but this relentless oversexualization of young girls is scary to me. In this book, Ms. Orenstein articulates so well all the issues that I have a problem with as I try to bring up daughters in this day and time. I deeply appreciate Ms. Orenstein's courage in tackling this subject and being a voice of warning and reason.
