The book deals with fairy tales in traditional times and how the modern fairy tales are a transgression from the myths and folkloric flavours associated with the traditional tales. It talks about a Feminist re-reading of some of the major fairy tales of the world, where the subject speaks out, the subject of domination being a woman. Major Feminist literary theories and how the woman writes back have been seen as one of the most essential parts of this book.
