preliminary research

For my research assignment i would like to look at how women were portrayed in fairytales. I will look at how different illustrators have portrayed their princesses and heroins. For example illustrator Angela Barrett has illustrated many iconic female figures such as Snow White and Joan of Arc. She has also illustrated another heroic female figure, Anne Frank.

Another famous and much loved fairytale illustrator is Arthur Rackham who illustrated Little Red Riding hood and Alice in Wonderland along with many more. I will find it interesting to compare the two, a contemporary female childrens illustrator and a classic male illustrator. I would like to see the difference, if any, that gender has when it comes to portraying famous female fairytale figures.
