You might think immediately of "princesses" when you think of fairy tales, and this is true not just for Disney: you will find fairy tale princesses in the fairy tale traditions all over the world. Focusing on the princess as a character is a way to help you choose which stories you want to tell, either working inside a single culture, or by comparing princess fairy tales across different cultures.
Research Tip: As with any fairy tale project, the key decision to make is whether you want to zoom in on a specific cultural tradition or whether you want to compare across traditions. See the
Fairy Tales project page for research tips that will work for both approaches.
