A landmark in the feminine literary tradition. Four decades later those fairytale retellings still ring true.
I was just a little frustrated by some of the stories I would have wanted more of.

Be warned that I don't fully remember every trigger, so I advise looking at a few reviews. These stories are dark and contain a lot of dark themes.
