Grimms' bad girls & bold boys : the moral & social vision of the Tales / Ruth B. Bottigheimer.
This study provides a thorough analysis of the entire body of Grimms' Tales, focusing in particular on the matter of gender. By combining a sociohistorical examination of the stories with close scrutiny of the language in which they are told, the author reveals coherent patterns of motif, plot, and image and brings new insight into the moral and social vision of the collection.--From publisher description.
