Cenicienta liberada

In this twist of the traditional tale, the ingenious Cinderella meets her fairy godmother, goes to a dance and socializes with a prince, but there the story we already know ends: in reality, glass shoes are not very comfortable, beauty does not bring happiness and the protagonist gets fed up with being treated badly. Rebecca Solnit revisits this classic with a sassy heroine who inspires us to rethink the role of women in the world. Because we cannot continue to tell this story as if society had not changed, as if there was not so much to change yet, and because, deep down, Cinderella is not a story about achieving a life of wealth with the prince: it is a fable about transformation and what it means to be free.
