    Sleeping Beauty?

    That site has a bunch of fairy tales...

    There's a good discussion of the role of fairy tale witches here:

    You can also look into the stories of Hans Christian Andersen. He's got dozens of stories that have witches!

    Baba Yaga is a famous Russian fairy tale witch. She lived in a house that had chicken feet and could walk around, and she ate children (as most fairy tale witches were keen on doing).

    There's a fabulous book called Kissing the Witch: Old Tales in New Skins by Emma Donoghue, which provides alternate perspectives of fairytales, such as a woman who was unlucky in love and disguised herself as a witch and made medicine. Rapunzel is a beauty queen with a horrible stage mother who is rescued by an admirer.

    And you should also look at Foster Homes and typically any step mother. When they retired from fairy tales that is where they ended up ...ha ha.

    Um, not to hi-jack the thread (which from the title doesn't seem to be about witches at all!) there is a science fiction book by James Alan Gardner called Committment Hour in which children grow up switching sex each year then at 20 they have to choose which sex they will stay for the rest of their life. Might be something you want to suggest to be added to the class reading list if it's not already on it.

    And to really bend the rules a bit, I'm very glad I'm a male in our society--even if I could be a HOT female! (Cuz I don't think I'd want to put up with men! )

    Women only need to put up with men until they are into their 30's or 40's and/or get fat, old, and ugly.

    In those years, they will be dreamily remembering the guys who "use to ask them out all the time."

    Shakespeare's "MacBeth" has three witches.

    And we can't forget about "Wizard of Oz."

    Witches are always portrayed as having hook noses, missing teeth, and bad skin. Damn, you could include ME in your project! Just kidding, hehe.

    what did you learn/are you learningfrom this class
    i dont believe in the psychology of gender as anything more than a social construct
    i think too much emphasis is placed on gender(not to mention race age and sexuality)as defining and therefore dividing characteristics
    by design
    by a confused themselves patriarchy
    haha
    sounds cool anyway tho for a class

    dreamily remebering? not hardly sweetie. i don't 'have to put up with men' at all...because i ignore them. i only have to work with them. i say i'm glad i'm female. independant and free (whatever that means). even in a jacked up male dominated society

    as far as fairytales go i don't know of too many...but it looks like your covered by the other responses.

    why do some people still have to fight to get the same opportunities that are given to others?

    reclusiveness...is a good thing.

    the greatest revenge in the world...is success.
