I think I'd rather raise my daughters with images of strong girls. Did you ever read The Woman Warrior? That's the type of character I'd like to teach little girls to idolize.

I can't wait to hear your thoughts after seeing this movie. The princess fascination recently came home from school with my girls. My husband asked them if they wanted to see a real princess and they eagerly agreed. So he showed them some delightful photos of Princess Anne. He explained that real princesses are just normal looking people who wear business suits and raise money for charity. It dampened their princess enthusiasm for a little while. I have nothing against a dose of pure fantasy and entertainment, but the princess culture does bother me, especially when it isn't outgrown. There is now a Disney bridal collection. As their website explains, it "creates a look that connects to every girl's inner princess." Heavy sigh. Great article at The Root. I can’t wait to hear your thoughts after seeing this movie.
