More DescriptionAll traditional tales between the 12th to 18th centuries written by male voices dominated classic literature, even today, to keep the male norm. Selected folktales from my child reading and adult storytelling, which influence my thinking that 'women are the servers, helpless, evil, hysterical, not worthy, the weaker sex' as truth and influenced my reality. This collection of folktales is about women who inspire. The powers of the females in 'Damsels Overcome' reveal their skills used to survive.

As I found, males are also victims of these norms.
