Wicked! (WisCon 31 panel)

Feminism, Sex, and Gender•Wisconsin• Saturday, 2:30-3:45 p.m.

Evil queens, cruel stepmothers; incestuous fathers, despicable princes: In fairy tales, it seems that good girls haven't got a chance. Are there authority figures who aren't venomous? And should we trust any of them, either? A discussion of the relation between gender, malice, and parenting in fantasy and fairy tale.
