3.0
I really liked this book- It made me think of all the stories I read when I was little and how I really htought everything had a happy ending. Well, thats just not life is it. I liked how these ancient fairy tales really spun a new life into some of the new concerns I have about society. Its a good read.

Sometimes you have to read someone else's story in order to face your own. This book was that for me.

The stories were hit or miss for me, and two of them I skipped. I still give this book five stars. It is a collection of validation and hope. The afterword by Terri Windling fills a need with clarity and honesty. The Dirty Little Girl by Joanna Russ brought me to tears while I was reading in public. You might not want to read this book where you can't cry in peace.
