The Demsels' Development

This blog explores the question of how has the progression of gender roles portrayed in Disney Fairytales over the past 60 years influenced the way adolescent girls view their future role in society.  This question needs to be addressed because movies such as “Snow White” and “Cinderella” seem to give the impression to little girls that to be a woman in society she must be dependent on her “Prince Charming”.  The question also raises the idea that over the years the princesses in the movies have grown.  This thought is seen more recently with movies such as “The Princess and the Frog”.  Throughout this blog gender roles in the various Disney Princess movies are examined.
