I found "The Princess and The Prick: Fairy Tales For Feminists" at a local bookstore/small business gift-shop. I was a lot full on pancakes and bacon and chocolate milk; I had just smelled a bunch of candles; then I saw this cover and I couldn't just not buy it. Written by Walburga Appleseed; Illustrated by Seobhan Hope.
["Revisit childhood classics, but not as you remember them. Familiar fables are turned on their heads as your beloved heroines finally have their say. These stories will never be the same again."]
This books is alllllmmost like the Nikita Gill poems I've read and raved about....but with like 1000% more sass and attitude. Very blunt about who women are (and always have been) generally screwed over because men just do whatever the fuck they want (whether or not they have silly little things like consent or common curtesy).
Do not read this book with your children unless you're ready to explain why Little Red Riding Hood wants to be "devoured" by the Wolf (among a few other really quite funny adult situations).
