Waking the world: classic tales of women and the heroic feminine

Trama

In familiar fairy tales such as "Sleeping Beauty" and "Snow White, " a captivating maiden falls under an evil spell - usually cast by a wicked, older woman - and sleeps as if dead until a valiant hero awakens her. In these stories it is the man who sleeps, and the woman who must break the spell that imprisons both king and kingdom.
