Popis The ability of fairy tales to adapt so they would reflect the social norms and values of the period when they were penned down has been pointed out by many scholars. Given this ability, it is hardly a surprise that when the second wave of feminism and the literary criticism that it produced swept through the western world, fairy tales had to make use of their ability to adapt to take into account the criticism of the stereotypical portrayal of the genders in fairy tales. This paper will discuss a rewriting of the well-known fairy tale “Cinderella, or The Little Glass Slipper” that was penned down by a contemporary Irish writer Emma Donoghue under the name “The Tale of the Shoe”. The focus of the analysis will be on how the stereotypes that are present in the traditional version are subverted.
