The Treasure Guardian

Fairy tales without patriarchy

Snow White, Sleeping Beaty and Jorinda are archetypical women and guardians of intuitive female wisdom. The way in which their stories were told reflects the views and morals of those who collected them. Luisa Francia retells these classic fairy tales based on the results of the latest research into the lives of women in early cultures. She releases them from patriarchal ways of thinking and thus allows a new, intuitive approach to hidden wisdom. Her fairy tales provide new, urgently needed concepts of reality for our time.
