storieson which the following tales are basedcertainly served their purpose—toentrench the patriarchy,to estrange people from theirown natural impulses,to demonize ‘evil'and to'reward'an‘objective'good'.However much we mightlike to,we cannot blame the Brothers Grimm for theirinsensitivity to womyn's issues,minority cultures,andthe environment.Likewise,in the self-righteousCopenhagen of Hans Christian Andersen,theinalienable rights of mermaids were hardly given asecond thought.  \nToday,we have the opportunity—and the obliga-tion—to rethink these ‘classic'stories so they reflectmore enlightened times.To that effort I submit thishumble book.While its original title,Fairy Stories for aModern World,was abandoned for obvious reasons(kudos to my editor for pointing out my hetero-  \nPOLITICALLY CORRECT BEDTIME STORIES  \nsexualist bias),I think the collection stands on its own.This,however,is just a start.I expect I have volumesleft in me,and I hope this book sparks the righteousimaginations of other writers and,of course,leaves anindelible mark on our children.  \nIf,through omission or commission,I have inad-vertently displayed any sexist,racist,culturalist,nationalist,regionalist,ageist,lookist,ableist,sizeist,speciesist,intellectualist,socioeconomicist,ethno-centrist,phallocentrist,heteropatriarchalist,or othertype of bias as yet unnamed,I apologize and encour-age your suggestions for rectification.In the quest todevelop meaningful literature that it totally free frombias and purged from the influences of its flawedcultural past,I doubtless have made some mistakes.","cbCaihuFgULP4kol","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihuFgULP4kol","pdf",3543506,102,"English","# CONTENTS\n## INTRODUCTION\n## LITTLE RED RIDING
